Education

BANCC are committed to delivering excellent educational opportunities for cardiovascular nurses. We deliver educational webinars, support academic writing opportunities and run educational events.

“At BANCC council we have been working really hard to transform our educational activities and resources to better meet the needs of our members and help grow the membership. We have started a series of webinars to run throughout the year approximately every 2 months covering a diverse range of topics. We took the difficult decision to defer our annual conference to 2025 in order to bring it forward in the year to April without compromising the quality. As always this will be completely free to members and bigger and better than ever before with a wide range of workshops to reflect our diversity. We are also delighted to partner with BCS for the first joint specialist nurse symposium this year which we also plan to make an annual event. We would love to hear feedback and suggestions from members regarding all our work including our educational activities”

Professional Development Fund

BANCC recognises the importance of professional development and education. To support ongoing development of cardiovascular nurses, 20% of BANCC membership funds are made available annually to the BANCC Professional Development Fund (PDF). The PDF provides an opportunity for BANCC members to secure financial support for professional development. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Funding to support attendance of a national or international conference relevant to cardiovascular nursing (for example: BANCC Annual Conference, British Cardiology Society Annual Conference, Association of Cardiovascular Nursing & Allied Professions Annual EuroHeartCare Congress).

  • Funding to support study days relevant to cardiovascular nursing.

  • Funding to complete educational relevant cardiovascular nursing modules or training.

The PDF offers BANCC members the opportunity to apply for funding to enhance their knowledge and skills in cardiovascular nursing. This is a competitive process covering all activities which aim to support cardiovascular nurses in the continued professional development.
