About the Course

Learning to read and confidently interpret an ECG is a valuable skill for assessing and treating patients with a wide range of medical presentations including chest pain, syncope, stroke, shortness of breath and poisoning. The workshop builds confidence to identify the ECG features of cardiac and lung disease, toxicological and biochemical disorders and the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias. 

The course is delivered over two days and you may attend Day 1 or Day 2 or both days - your choice !

The workshop is suited to Medical officers (GPs, Training MOs, CMOs), Nurses, Paramedics and Students.
