ACNAP Young Community (YoCo) Toolkit

As a community that focuses on the needs of young cardiovascular nurses and allied professionals, the ACNAP Young Community (YoCo) has developed the YoCo Toolkit, an online platform where you can find different resources and tools that address several research-related topics within the cardiovascular field, to support the young members of ACNAP and the ESC in their career development.

About the toolkit

The ACNAP Young Community (YoCo) was created in 2019 to support the needs of the young community of nurses and allied professionals by transferring knowledge and expertise within ACNAP and the ESC, and by supporting them within the cardiovascular field, whether in a clinical, educational or research setting. 

In response to members feedback, the Committee launched the 'YoCo Toolkit' initiative in 2023, an online platform providing resources on research methods, career development, and evidence-based practice.

The toolkit is regularly updated by the ACNAP YoCo Committee members and YoCo National Contacts. Hear their insights and explore the latest ressources below!

Aim

The toolkit serves as a valuable resource tailored for nurses and allied professionals entering the cardiovascular field. The purpose of the toolkit is to: 

  • Gather key scientific content for use in research, education, clinical practice and career development
  • Organise content around key topics identified by our Young Community
  • Consolidate information into a comprehensive all-in-one resource, making the Toolkit unique
  • Be in constant evolution as it is updated on a regular basis, making it a very useful evidence-based practice guide

How to use it

Click on the blocks above and you will be redirected to a list of contents (articles, slides, videos etc…), focused on each particular topic. Most resources are sourced from our ESC 365 platform and from the ESC Journals Family. You must be a member to access certain content.
