In Aprli 2014
inVentiv Selling Soulutions started a pan-european cooperation with one
of the world leading pharmaceutical companies engaged in
cardiovascular. In currently six European countries our Clinical Nurse
Educators (CNE) are partnering with hospital based health care
professionals to support them in their daily endevour to ensure patient
compliance in the aftercare of heart attacks. According to a recently
published study of the world heart federation up to 75% of patients with
known CVD are not even using one recommended medication*.
Our program is set to reduce this number and our CNEs are set to fulfil
this mission. Learn more about the daily work of an CNE from our Danish colleague, Dorthe L.:
How does a typical day as a Clinical Nurse Educator look like?
“Whilst the task – approaching hospitals and supporting nurses in their pursuit to ensure
that patients are compliant to their aftercare medication– is well defined, I am happy to
say that there is no such thing like a ‘typical day’. In some hospitals my former
colleagues are very well informed about the challenges related to patient compliance, so
that we can focus on details, whilst others might be taken by surprise to learn that 75%
of patients with known Cardiovascular Disease are not using constantly the
recommended medication. Sometimes I perform group meetings, sometimes it is an
intensive conversation with one nurse for some 30 minutes. It is always exciting, it is
always different, this is what I like so much.”
After now being in this role for a while, does this function fulfil your expectations?
“My expectations were exceeded. I received the best professional on the job training I could imagine which enabled me right from the start to go out there and to support
nurses. I thought, I would be on my own, me and my car but I am fully integrated into our
European inVentiv Health team with regular phone calls and a great relationship to our
local partner’s team. Yes, I might be alone in my car, but I am never alone at work. This is simply the best job I could imagine for a nurse”
Wow, that is a strong statement. What makes it such a great job?
““My input matters. I became a trusted partner for the health care staff in my hospitals. Nurses also maybe even ask questions that seem obvious, but in a busy work
environment, the obvious can be missed. It is very important to build up a relationship,
where all questions are welcomed and that takes more than one visit. My work is
valued by the people I speak with. Recently I have been actively approached by some
hospitals which originally weren’t on my list, asking me for visiting them too. My job is to add value to the nurses and to support them in their responsibility for their patients. This
is simply great.”
What would be your recommendation if a friend where asking you if she or he should apply for
the role of a Clinical Nurse Educator at inVentiv Health?
“ ‘Do it!’ I really wish there were more jobs like this for nurses”
