International Research Award to Tone Norekvål
Professor Tone Merete Norekvål from the Heart Department received an international research award during this year's ESC Congress in London last week.
The ESC Congress is the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology, the world's largest cardiology congress. The congress gathers over 30,000 active participants and is held every year in August/September. The newest and foremost research and treatments in heart field are presented and discussed here.
The research award and the accompanying prize lecture, ESC Florence Nightingale Lecture in Nurse-Led Research, is one of the prestigious main presentations at the congress. The award is named after Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing and a pioneer in health reform efforts.
The prize recognizes and celebrates outstanding leaders, innovators, and contributors in nursing and other healthcare professions. The person delivering the prize lecture also receives ESC's silver medal, another highly prestigious award.
Norekvål is the founder and leader of the research group PROCARD (Patient-Reported Outcomes in Cardiology), which investigates how patients with acute and chronic heart disease experience treatment and follow-up in primary and specialized healthcare services. A distinctive feature of PROCARD's research is that the patient's voice is elevated through patient-reported data combined with clinical data, the use of multiple methods and data sources, and collaboration across disciplines.
Norekvål has led many major research projects, most recently eHjerteRehab, a research and innovation project funded by the Research Council of Norway, where researchers are developing a digital rehabilitation program for heart patients. With high-quality research and patient-centered focus, Norekvål's groundbreaking work in cardiac nursing and patient care has contributed to fostering the next generation of researchers.
Norekvål's lecture at the ESC Congress, "Building research capacities in clinical nurse-led research: patient-reported outcomes at the core," discussed how treatment can be optimized by involving the patient in their care and the importance of integrating the patient's voice in clinical research.
