Clinical Case Gallery
The Association of Cardiovascular Nurses & Allied Professions (ACNAP) has a Clinical Case Gallery where you can present clinical scenarios focusing on patient centred care. As the use of clinical cases is increasing in nursing research and education, we strongly encourage you to submit your clinical cases to the gallery.
Why is this important?
The Clinical Case Gallery is an excellent learning tool that provides an opportunity to explore scenarios from the daily practice.
What makes a case interesting?
It does not need to be unique. Typical clinical scenarios that include patients followed and managed in line with current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommendations as well as new or rare diseases or common conditions with atypical presentations are as welcome. A special approach to an interdisciplinary problem, patient safety, cost-conscious care or patient experience are themes of interest.
How should it be presented?
A clinical case describes one patient through sequential snapshots of the illness trajectory. It is important that the patient cannot be identified. The format is a title, an abstract, introduction (background), case presentation, discussion, conclusions, and references. For more information regarding the ACNAP Clinical Case Gallery, contact Trond Pettersen at [email protected] or @EdTrond.
Where to submit?
Clinical cases can be submitted through the ACNAP webpage; see QR code:

Why become a National Ambassador for ACNAP YoCo?
Your role will be to support your community and develop/implement initiatives for the future generation of leaders by establishing the needs and training requirements for this.
‘As an ambassador I can broaden my professional companions, and this will ultimately result in delivering a high standard of care to our patients and their families.’
Edil Cronin, YoCo Ambassador Ireland
Each month ACNAP promotes the profile of an Ambassador in the newsletter and this helps you to gain visibility among national and international peers. Furthermore, ACNAP recently appointed a National Ambassador to each of their committees to ensure the voice of the young community is represented.
‘This role assists me in uniting the up and coming young cardiovascular nursing and allied health community across the globe to share resources, support each other and grow together.’
Susie Cartledge, YoCo Ambassador Australia
