12 lead ECG interpretation course

Electrocardiogram interpretation is a complex skill that requires practice and experience. Using a structured framework helps develop the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for accurate ECG interpretation, undergirding appropriate management of your cardiovascular disease patients. 

This four-part series offers comprehensive learning tailored for healthcare professionals seeking to develop and extend their knowledge and skills in ECG interpretation. Each session is designed to build on the previous, ensuring a strong foundational knowledge as well as insights into complex cardiac issues.

Part 1: Fundamentals of ECG Interpretation - Live webinar 5th March

This introductory session covers the basics of ECG components, including waveforms, complexes, and intervals. Participants will learn how to recognise normal vs abnormal ECG readings, setting the stage for more detailed studies in the following sessions.

Part 2: Rhythm Disturbances & Electrical Therapies - Live webinar 12th March

Focusing on common arrhythmias and their treatments, this part delves into the mechanisms and management of conditions such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and the use of electrical therapies like defibrillation and pacing.

Part 3: Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) - Live webinar 19th March

Participants will explore ECG signs of ACS, understanding how to distinguish between various types of myocardial infarction and ischemia, which is crucial for timely and accurate emergency response.

Part 4: Blocks & Axis Deviation - Live webinar 26th March

The final session investigates more complex conditions, including different types of heart blocks and axis deviations, emphasising interpretation skills that apply to diagnosing underlying heart conditions.

Throughout the series, interactive case studies and real-world applications link theory to practice, enhancing the learning experience and equipping participants with the skills necessary for expert ECG interpretation.

Course inclusions

To optimise your learning, this course will be delivered via live webinars with practice points following each session consolidated through interactive case studies. Additional skills videos will be included demonstrating management of abnormal ECGs  such as cardioversion and transthoracic emergency pacing.
