Ramsay and Medtronic have joined forces to develop nursing careers.
Ramsay Health Care has announced a partnership with Medtronic to offer nurses access to an online education program – Cath Lab Pro – designed to upskill them in cardiac catheterisation laboratory work.
Ramsay’s chief nurse and clinical services director, Associate Professor Bernadette Eather, said the program would be used to onboard and upskill more nurses to work in cath labs at Ramsay hospitals across the country.
“Working in the cath lab is a special skill set and one that many of our nurses have expressed an interest in learning or improving,” Professor Eather said.
“Ramsay is committed to offering our nurses and health care professionals leading education and training opportunities to help them develop in their nursing careers.”
The new program will complement existing upskilling opportunities provided by the Ramsay Nursing and Midwifery Academy, which was launched in 2021.
“Ramsay Health Care nurses are committed to providing excellent health care for their patients, and we’re committed to helping them grow their skills and excel in their nursing careers,” Professor Eather said.
Ramsay Health Care has 32 cath labs across 18 of its private hospitals in Australia.
