Education and Training

NIPC provides a portfolio of educational and training programmes in the promotion of active lifestyles and the prevention and control of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. This portfolio includes programmes designed specifically to meet workforce development needs and support continuous professional development right through to a range of formal postgraduate qualifications.

Our faculty members are authors in peer-reviewed publications that identify the future of the curriculum in preventive cardiology. Our academics published the first European Core Curriculum for Preventive Cardiology, which will help to standardise, structure, deliver, and evaluate training in preventive cardiology across Europe. It will be the basis for dedicated fellowship programmes and a European Society of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) subspecialty certification for cardiologists, with the intention to improve quality and outcome in CVD prevention.
