I am the Lead PCI Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre.

I have worked at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre for over 9 years, 3 of which as the PCI Clinical Nurse Specialist. During my time in Essex I have completed my cardiac care course, assessment and consultation course and non medical prescribers course and am currently on a Masters pathway.

My background is ward based interventional cardiology, pre and post PCI care, angina management and care of STEMI patients on a high dependancy unit. I have set up a Chronic Total Occlusion MDT which I run monthly and manage all patients who are awaiting procedures.
My role involves a lot of planning of complex PCI procedure prior to the lab and follow up care afterwards. I have also set up Nurse led discharge of STEMI, ACS and elective patients.
