Improving Heart Health, Together.

Closing the implementation gap between guidelines and real-world chronic cardiac care

Dr Jennifer Coller, PulsePoint Academy Director

Supporting Healthcare Providers

We provide primary care and multidisciplinary healthcare teams with the tools and knowledge they need to communicate effectively with patients and provide high quality, evidence-based cardiac care in real world clinical settings.

Our online courses support clinicians to feel more confident in providing up-to-date and contemporary assessment and management in the fast-evolving field of cardiology.

A Collaborative Approach

We believe in a whole-of-workforce approach, bringing together teams involved in community based cardiac care – because multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes for patients.

Before any events, we carefully scope existing understanding and confidence gaps – in order to personalise our training and coaching and achieve the maximum impact at our sessions.

Our team provides high quality, dynamic and engaging cardiology education, opportunities for reflective practice and support for quality improvement projects.

Eugene Lugg

Eugene has extensive experience in cardiovascular health as a clinician, educator, health promotion professional, improvement advisor and quality improvement lead for statewide heart health initiatives.

As a registered nurse, Eugene began his acute experience in tertiary hospitals in Cardiothoracic surgery and Cardiology, before moving to a rewarding role as a heart failure nurse with the Hospital Admission Risk Program supporting Victorians to manage their heart health and live well at home.

After a decade of clinical acute care, Eugene transitioned to health promotion, where he led national patient support programs for the Heart Foundation. Four years later, Eugene moved into quality improvement and program management at Safer Care Victoria where he managed a team to design, deliver and evaluate six cardiovascular projects in over 29 hospitals. Projects Eugene has led have focussed on secondary prevention, digital health, reducing unplanned readmissions, and bringing high quality cardiac care closer to home for regional patients.

Eugene is passionate about heart health, equity, and supporting and coaching clinicians to provide better high-quality care for Australians. Outside of work, Eugene enjoys time with his family with two energetic young sons, philosophy, running and travel.
