ACNAP Board
For the term 2026–2028
ACNAP Board 2026-2028
"Over the next two years, ACNAP will build on its strong legacy while looking confidently to the future. ACNAP’s mission to promote excellence in cardiovascular nursing and allied professions through practice, education, and research will be advanced with a particular focus on equity and excellence throughout this mandate. Guided by our values of collaboration, leadership, and inclusivity, we will strengthen ACNAP’s voice and influence through enhanced engagement in policy and advocacy. Sustainability will be embedded across all our activities, while the appointment of ACNAP’s first Equity and Inclusion Officer demonstrates our commitment to addressing inequalities for both the cardiovascular nursing and allied professional workforce and the patients they serve. Above all, patients will remain at the heart of everything we do, shaping our priorities and guiding our actions."
