Title: Clinical Nurse Specialist, IMPACT - Research and Care, Department of Heart and Lung Hospital, Rigshospitalet, University Hospital of Copenhagen, Denmark

Specialist research area: Early rehabilitation after CABG. Everyday life in patients with advanced heart failure treated with transplantation or LVAD.

Research experience: Post-doctoral

Summary: My research deals with comprehensive interventions in the early rehabilitation course after CABG to support patients' handling of everyday life after discharge. This led to a general curiosity about dealing with everyday life and redefining everyday life in patients with chronic illness including severe heart failure.

During the COVID-19 shutdown, we examined different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic with patient and professional perspectives.

I supervise and teach Ph.D. students, clinical nurses and allied professionals.
