New Position Statement from the BSH Nurse Forum The BSH Nurse Forum has published a position statement on Protecting the Integrity and Banding of Heart Failure Clinical Nurse Specialist Roles. It calls for national action to safeguard these vital roles at Band 7 and above, recognising their complexity, leadership, and critical contribution to patient care. Read the full statement on our website: bsh.org.uk/position-statemen… #CalltoAction #BandingHFNurses #Band7

NICE have released their updated guidance on Heart Failure (NG106), bringing key changes to improve care and outcomes for people living with HF, and support clinicians in delivering this care. Find the guidance here: nice.org.uk/guidance/ng106 There are several positive developments in the guidance including: 1. NICE recognise and name HF pharmacists as core to HF team. 2. Four pillars HF therapy recommended for HFrEF and 4 pillars to be considered for HFmrEF patients. A stepwise approach is no longer required. Use the person's clinical status to decide how and when to optimise medicine doses 3. Two pillars recognised for HFpEF (MRA and SGLT2-) 4. ARNI can now be initiated in primary care (but GPs should consider seeking specialist HF advice first). 5. NICE recommends iv iron in HFrEF with iron deficiency (if Hb <150g/l, TSAT <20% OR ferritin <100ng/l). This is a positive step in the right direction for heart failure care and treatment but we must continue to work together to advocate for further improvements and ensure heart failure becomes a national priority. #25in25 #HeartFailure #NICEGuidance

Heart Failure Awareness Week might be over but we must not stop raising awareness of HF - because ‘Heart Failure Doesn’t Stop Us’. By working together to ensure early diagnosis and timely access to treatment, we can improve outcomes, reduce mortality, and help patients #LiveWell. @BSHNurseForum @escardio
