Participants may want to refresh their understanding & interpretation of 12 lead ECG recordings, or build up those skills from scratch (e.g., medical students, student nurses). On completion of this course participants should have the confidence to check any 12 lead ECG and have a good idea if it is normal or not; you will be able to deduce the likely diagnosis of the heart rhythm; likelihood and location of heart muscle damage, when you take into account your patient’s presentation and clinical history.

Following completion of all 9 modules and case scenarios, participants will be sent a CPD certificate of attendance for their records.
