They will also preoperatively assess, optimise, review and prepare patients who are listed for cardiac surgery. They will assist in the optimisation of non-elective pathway patients ensuring they are ready for urgent surgery. They will act as an advocate, contact, and support for their own caseload of patients waiting for cardiac surgery.
