Keeping cardiovascular care resilience moving beyond the RESIL-Card project.
On November 30, 2026, the RESIL-Card project will officially come to an end. However, the need to strengthen the resilience of cardiovascular care pathways does not end with the project.
Over the past three years, RESIL-Card has brought together cardiovascular professionals, health system and policy experts, and patient representatives to develop, test and bring a practical approach to resilience assessment into the cardiovascular community, and help ensure that cardiovascular care pathways can maintain continuity of care during future crises.
Now, the next chapter depends on what happens beyond the project.
At their closing meeting last month, the RESIL-Card consortium reflected on how to sustain the tool beyond the project’s lifetime. Keeping it available is only the first step; its long-term value will also depend on continued use by cardiovascular teams, shared learning from their experiences, and the ability to demonstrate its contribution to strengthening care pathway resilience.
Moving forward will require putting RESIL-Card into practice in more hospitals, sharing experiences between teams, learning from different contexts, and continuing to build a community around cardiovascular care resilience. It also means keeping resilience on the agenda as healthcare systems face new and evolving disruptions.
The RESIL-Card tool is available free of charge for cardiovascular teams to use. Every assessment, every discussion and every action taken by a team can contribute to a growing body of experience about what helps cardiovascular care remain resilient when disruption strikes.
The project may be ending. The next chapter is now in the hands of the cardiovascular community.
Whether you are already using RESIL-Card, considering it for your team, or interested in contributing to the wider community, we invite you to stay connected and help keep cardiovascular care resilience moving forward.
