Congenital Cardiac Nursing

Research

Improving cardiac nursing

Researchers at Birmingham City University are improving congenital cardiac nursing for children and families through a number of funded projects, supported by the UK's first professor of congenital cardiac nursing, Professor Kerry Gaskin.

Kerry’s unique professorial role focuses on developing congenital cardiac nursing, such as leveraging technology for the assessment and monitoring of fragile infants with complex congenital heart disease in the community. 

Research projects
