Abstract: The article presents a study on the experiences of healthcare professionals in implementing nurse-delivered cardiovascular prevention to high risk patients in primary care. The study revealed that implementation of nurse-delivered cardiovascular prevention are being hindered by lack of knowledge on guidelines, lack of communication, and insufficient coaching by doctors. It is suggested that there should be mutual confidence between care providers to remove the barriers in such implementation.
