2 DAY PROGRAM - Presenter will be Anne Evans-Murray.

Time:  9.00 am to 3.45 daily

Become confident in your interpretation of cardiac arrhythmias.
​
  • For all nurses wanting to increase their skills so they can work confidently in critical care areas, also applicable to nurses in general wards wanting to upskill their knowledge

  • For nurses currently working in coronary care, high dependency or medical wards who want to upgrade or revise their arrhythmia interpretation skills.

  • For medical students/ paramedics or those interested in increasing their arrhythmia interpretation skills.

The first session will revise the basics of reading ECGs and rhythm strips. Then step by step the presenter will assist with moving your knowledge from basics to complex 12 lead ECGs. You do not need to feel this will be too complex for you, as the presenter is experienced at explaining complex concepts in easy to understand language in a very interesting way.
