TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Bio: Nicki has been in nursing for 25 years, starting her career in general medicine then moving into cardiology where she has worked for the last 20 years. She has worked on the wards, CCU and in the cardiac catheter lab.

A decade ago she was given the opportunity to shape the nurse led cardiac services in Mansfield and has developed the chest pain service, and for the last 8 years, the rhythm management and syncope service.

Within the syncope service, she has seen a lot of patients with autonomic dysfunction and her curiosity led her to develop a special interest in this area.
