This comprehensive course is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in the field of electrocardiography (ECG). It is intended to provide participants with a deeper understanding of ECG abnormalities, their interpretation and their implications for patient care. By the end of this course, participants will be better equipped to understand pathophysiological mechanisms and deliver safer patient care. This course will then allow you to interpret and apply your knowledge to your own practice within your policies and procedures. This course is not accredited. 

The content of the course:

• Essential Anatomy and physiology
• ECG principles and settings
• Leads placement, sinus rhythm
• Atrial, ventricular & conduction abnormalities
• Cardiac ischaemia
• Systematic approach to rhythm recognition
• Clinical case studies and practice

The purpose of the course:

• Enhance knowledge and skills
• Understand and interpret electrocardiographic abnormalities
