Who is this module for?
This module has been designed for staff from a range of professional backgrounds. Applicants will be professional registrants who have normally completed one year of preceptorship having achieved locally based competencies. In addition, you should have access to patients with cardiological illness in either wards, CCU (Coronary Care Units), Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories (CCL) or a community setting.
What are the key aims of the module?
The module aims to support and develop students to:
Critically consider the assessment, monitoring, diagnosis and management of people with cardiac conditions.
Critically apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology associated with the development of cardiac disease.
Synthesise knowledge and skills in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of person and family centred care for patients with cardiac disease.
Critically explore the evidence base supporting cardiology disease management strategies designed to optimise cardiovascular health.
How will I study?
You will be expected to attend six face to face days which will be a combination of key note lectures, seminars and practical workshops. In addition supplementary materials will be made available online which have been designed to prepare you for each day of delivery and to follow up face to face sessions. These materials will be stored online in the module’s Blackboard (Bb) area for your consideration.
What will I study?
Anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system
History taking/ clinical examination
Inherited conditions/ cardiomyopathy
ECG interpretation/ heart rhythm
Acute coronary syndromes
Aortic stenosis/ TAVI
Cardiac pharmacology
Cardiac rehabilitation
Cardio-oncology
Clinical reasoning/ decision-making
How will I be assessed?
The assessment for this module is in two parts, as such students will be required to:
Undertake an online multiple choice question examination
Write a 2,500 word case study
On successful completion you will:
Critically apply advanced cardiology knowledge to an appropriate patient group recognising and managing their health status through appropriate decision-making and clinical reasoning.

The course will include talks on normal cardiac anatomy and cardiac abnormalities. We will have members from our cardiac specialist nurse team and they will talk about the management and support of families expecting a child with a cardiac abnormality.
The Interactive Cardiology Conference is an opportunity for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and allied health professionals to get together and discuss vital updates on the latest cardiovascular innovations. With heart disease as the UK’s primary cause of premature death, this conference will pre...
This one day national face-to-face course will aim to equip cardiologists and trainees with the knowledge and skills for pertinent general medical and cardiometabolic issues that they will face as part of their clinical practice.
Acute Cardiology Simulation Training (ACST) is an interactive course that aims to develop the skills and knowledge required for common cardiology scenarios. Expert faculty will help you learn to manage acutely unwell patients in a systematic manner.
Our Level 1 Specialist Centre located at the University Hospital of Leicester, hosts a dedicated centre of care which delivers a streamlined pathway approach. Supplemented by ten Level 3 centres across the region, we are able to deliver lifelong care closer to home.
