Liam Tobin
Liam Tobin has been a cardiac nurse since qualifying in 2004. He worked on CCU for 9 years after qualifying. From there he took on various roles as a nurse educator, arrhythmia clinical nurse specialist (CNS), inherited arrhythmia CNS and CCU ward manager. His current role is Lead nurse for Inherited Cardiac Conditions for both King’s College Hospital and Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital in London.
Liam returned to the field of ICC due to developing an interest in channelopathies and sudden cardiac death when working for four years as an Inherited Arrhythmia CNS. During his time as an inherited arrhythmia nurse he completed an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice which included conducting a research study looking at the lived experiences of patients undergoing clinical screening following the sudden cardiac death of a first degree relative.
