What competencies should be present in the multidisciplinary teams involved in the outpatient or community-based care of people with heart failure?
The competencies that should be present in the multidisciplinary teams involved in the outpatient or community-based care of people with heart failure include the ability to provide collaborative working between more than one healthcare profession or discipline, the ability to deliver an intervention (on average) of at least two face-to-face meetings, the ability to provide care that is applicable to UK practice, and the ability to provide care based on the NICE 2018 guidelines for chronic heart failure. Additionally, they should be able to stratify patients based on risk status at the time of randomisation (high versus lower risk patients) and the length of intervention delivered in the study (three months, six months, or longer).
