Heart failure nurse practitioners (HF NP) are an emerging component of the heart failure (HF) specialist workforce but their impact in an inpatient setting is untested. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of an inpatient HF NP service on 12 month all-cause rehospitalisations, emergency department (ED) presentations and mortality in patients hospitalised with HF compared to usual hospital care.
