Dear colleagues,
It is our great honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the 9th Congress of Croatian Association of Cardiology Nurses which will be held in parallel with 14th Congress of Croatian Cardiology Society in Zagreb, Westin Hotel, from 24th to 27th November 2022.
Following the postponement of the conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we are continuing the tradition of hosting a major national cardiology conference.
We would like to thank the president of Croatian Cardiac Society, academician Davor Miličić, for the invitation and support to organize our congresses together. Our national congresses bring together health professionals involved in cardiovascular care in every aspect of the health system in our homeland and neighboring countries. Throughout the four days of the congress, we attempted to cover all relevant issues and challenges in cardiology practice today. Congress will feature symposiums of CACN working groups and thematic sessions with chosen subjects proposed by attendees. Thematic workshops run by our experts are also included in professional content.
The welcome speech and honorary lecture will be delivered by the president of ACNAP, prof. Izabella Uchmanowicz PhD.
A special lecture on compassion and empathy will be given by prof. Tonči Matulić, PhD, as 33 months have passed since we began to live and work under challenging circumstances and saw how crucial it is to preserve and strengthen fundamental human values.
We thank Assoc. Prof. Mario Ivanuša, MD, PhD for his overall help in the preparation and publication of articles in the journal Cardiologia Croatica.
We believe the scientific contents, which we have prepared, will contribute to your professional development, as well as that your active participation in constructive discussions will contribute to the success of our congress.
