Due to ever increasing membership numbers and distance to travel, members of the South of England ECT nurse group have decided to divide into two groups. The South West England group and the South East England group. Each group now has the capacity to accept new membership. Contact details for your nearest group are on the ECT Nurse Special Interest Groups page of this website.

Cardiac Services Ltd, suppliers of defibrillators,  have agreed to sponsor the 3rd National ECT Nurse Conference, scheduled for 15th September 2010.

We regret to announce that the ECT nurse email forum has been closed, due to limited use and technical problems with Google and NHS website security.
