Dr Jeroen Hendriks

• Biography/ Background

  Professor Jeroen Hendriks, RN, PhD, FESC, FSCANZ, is professor of Cardiovascular Nursing and is affiliated with the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders, University of Adelaide and the Royal Adelaide Hospital. His program of research focusses on integrated care management in atrial fibrillation and related cardiovascular disease. This redesign practice model follows a patient-centred approach and incorporating allied health professionals in the management process. He holds a Future Leader Fellowship from the Australian Heart Foundation. Within the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders Dr. Hendriks is responsible for developing the Academic Nursing Program on Atrial Fibrillation. 

  He is fortunate to hold a Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship.

  Dr Hendiks undertook his PhD at the Maastricht University Medical Centre in Maastricht, the Netherlands. His PhD work demonstrated the important role of Integrated Care Management in terms of dedicated atrial fibrillation clinics to improve the outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Importantly it demonstrated a significant reduction in cardiovascular hospitalisation and mortality.

  He served on the Task Force Writing Committee to develop the 2016 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the management of Atrial Fibrillation, and on the Writing Committee to develop the 2018 Australian Clinical Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation.

  He is Editorial Board member of the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, The International Journal of Care Coordination, and ICT&Health International.

  Dr Hendriks is the President of the Australian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association (ACRA SA/NT). Internationally, he is the Co-Chair of the Science Committte at the ESC's Association for Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (ACNAP). He is the Past-President of the Dutch Society for Cardiovascular Nurses (NVHVV) and the Past Communication Officer of the Council for Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (CCNAP) within the European Society of Cardiology.
