Meet the team
Dr Janet McKay RGN, MA(Hons), Dip prof studies, MSc, DNur
Consultant Nurse Cardiac Care
Caring for individuals with cardiac problems has been my focus for nearly 40 years. I have been particularly focused on developing services that provide individuals with the knowledge, support and care they need to reach their full potential. As part of that I have developed a team that has a wide range of advanced skills. My focus outside of work is swimming, travel, and family history.

Rehabilitation has been a passion of mine for many years, I love seeing Ayrshire people build their confidence back up and make changes to live healthier lives. I want to shape and be part of a service that has a range of staff skills so more people can benefit from our approach and expertise. Outside work I like cycling and a good cup of tea.
