BANCC aims to foster excellence, promote the professional development of cardiovascular nurses, and represent their interests at national and international levels.
A Glimpse into the Future
One of the conference’s highlights is a keynote speech by Health Education for England Chief Nursing Officer, Professor Mark Radford. His speech, titled “Developing the Nursing Workforce of the Future”, promises to be an invigorating insight into the evolution of cardiovascular care.

In the Patient Experience section, Graham Cooper, an expert in the field, will guide the attendees through an overview of aortic dissection symptoms and treatments. He will cover the intricacies of this life-threatening condition, ensuring that nurses, whether newly qualified or highly experienced, are equipped with the knowledge needed to tackle such cases.
In addition, this section will present the poignant stories of brave individuals who have fought against the odds and survived aortic dissection. Hearing directly from those who have been through this harrowing experience adds a layer of depth and understanding that goes beyond textbooks. It is through their stories that we can grasp the sheer impact of aortic dissection on the lives of patients and their loved ones.
Concluding this segment, Graham will emphasize the critical importance of timely diagnosis and effective treatment in cases of aortic dissection. He will also touch upon the recent advancements in aortic surgery types, including thoracic aortic dissection repair. This is a not-to-be-missed session for anyone involved in the care of cardiovascular patients, as it combines vital knowledge with the raw, emotional experiences of survivors.
