Abstract:
With an ageing population and more people surviving heart attacks there are increasing numbers of people living with heart failure. Readmissions to hospital are often prolonged and costly. A number of nurse-led schemes have been successful in tackling the preventable causes of hospital readmissions and helping patients achieve a better quality of life in the community.
