In Europe the mix of Nurses and Allied Professionals (NAPs) working in the cath lab differs. The differences vary not only amongst countries but also within countries. The skills mix and job descriptions of the nurses and allied professions (NAPS) are often not defined or standardized. The number of NAPs providing care during procedures varies. We have had many questions asked to our group as to whether there are recommended standards. In order to provide answers we need your help by filling out this survey.
