Who we are
ACNAP YoCo is a wide community of young nurses and allied professionals who are ACNAP Members, under 40 years of age.
YoCo was created to support the needs of the young community by transferring knowledge and expertise within ACNAP and ESC, and by supporting them within the cardiovascular field, whether in a clinical, educational or research setting.
The ACNAP Board has named outstanding young healthcare professionals to spearhead an initiative to increase support and opportunities for young community (YoCo) nurses and allied professionals delivering cardiac care. The YoCo Committee members will work together with the ACNAP Board to assess what young members need and how to support them while ensuring that their views are reflected in the overall ACNAP strategy.

- Increase the number of young nurses and allied professionals within ACNAP
- Support and empower young nurses and allied professionals by creating a wide international community within the cardiovascular area
- Develop future young cardiovascular nursing and allied professionals through clinical practice, education and research
- Provide educational resources to better meet the needs of ACNAP YoCo
