Cardiac Physiologist Day
May 21, 2023
Dear Australian Cardiac Physiologists,
On this special day, I want to take a moment to recognise and appreciate the incredible contributions you make to the field of cardiology. Your knowledge, dedication, and commitment are vital in achieving good healthcare outcomes.
Cardiac Physiology can be a challenging and sometimes underappreciated profession. Many people, including some of our colleagues, don’t fully understand who we are and what we do. That’s why Cardiac Physiologist Day is important—it helps raise awareness, improves recognition, and celebrates our unique professional identity.
You are the backbone of cardiac diagnosis and play a vital role in delivering patient care. Your unwavering commitment to patients, even in challenging situations, is truly valuable. Your meticulous work in conducting and interpreting cardiac tests like electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and stress tests guides clinicians and shapes treatment plans. You also play a critical role in interventional procedures, patient education, and ongoing care. Your technical skills, empathy, advocacy, and compassion make a real difference in patients’ lives.
In addition to your clinical contributions, your active involvement in research, education, and professional development enriches the field of cardiology. By attending conferences, workshops, and training programs, you continuously enhance your skills and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in technology and best practices. Your dedication to lifelong learning and keeping up with emerging trends is commendable.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you, especially those of you who have PiCSA membership and are leading by example with accreditation and registration. I appreciate your hard work, and I want to express my respect and admiration. Please accept my warmest wishes for continued success and recognition. Together, let’s push boundaries and make a lasting impact on the future of cardiac care.
With deepest appreciation,
Miriam Norman
PiCSA Chairperson
