Nathan, pictured with interventional cardiologists A/Prof Chin Hiew and A/Prof Adam Hutchison, presented the poster at the 70th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) from 11-14 August. Nathan received the 2022 Nursing New Investigator Poster Prize, which he said had encouraged him to continue his interest in the research field.

The poster outlined findings from his recently submitted minor thesis, examining whether patient and system delays were experienced at University Hospital Geelong due to the lockdown periods associated with the pandemic.
