This one day event delivers all the necessary theoretical knowledge behind electrocardiography, including instrumentation, practice and basic interpretation. Ideally suited to a healthcare professional wanting to learn or consolidate an existing clinical skill. Also suitable for student cardiac physiologists in year one or early year two under going the foundation or honours degree programme in Clinical Physiology.
The second part of the programme gives the candidate the opportunity to gain clinical experience from a choice of sites from around the region. The network offers the choice of three hospital sites with a wide variety of clinical scenarios. All clinical practice will be supervised by qualified and accredited members of staff. Ideally suited for those healthcare professionals with an interest in cardiology and especially those who have completed the first module in the programme.
This module is a one day event and will introduce the candidate to the systematic interpretation of 12 lead ECGs. Those returning from module 2 will be able to return with their ECG evidence from clinical practice and initiate their analysis skills. The day will re-visit sinus rhythm, include rhythm abnormalities, morphological abnormalities, the affects of drugs and a specific clinical focus.
Those candidates that require or wish to be assessed in the practical aspects of electrocardiography and interpretation of a 12 lead resting electrocardiogram will return and be examined by accredited members of staff. Successful candidates will receive a certificate of competency.
