The role of the NET clinical nurse specialist in managing carcinoid heart disease patients: Optimising patient care
Introduction:
The diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is often made late and requires a highly experienced team to manage multiple issues, such as heart failure, carcinoid symptoms and poor nutrition. Prior to December 2018 NET (Neuroendocrine Tumor) and cardiac teams were working in isolation, this resulted in missed opportunities for intervention and comprehensive review. It was evident we needed to build closer collaborations with our cardiac colleagues, to ensure timely assessment, optimisation of symptoms and improve patients’ overall experience. The Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) were fundamental in establishing a twice monthly CHD/NET multidisciplinary team meeting and monthly joint NET/CHD clinic. Patients were kept informed at each stage by the CNS, either during telephone consultation, ward visit or at clinic appointments.
