Heart Failure & Nursing Competencies

Endorsed by the Scottish Heart Failure Nurse Forum, the competency framework has been designed to support the learning & professional development of heart failure specialist nurses. They can also be used to support an introduction to heart failure for nurses and professionals who work in other specialties.
