To gain theoretical and practical knowledge in order to identify anatomically correct electrode positions and record a diagnostic ECG.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart. The training involves hands-on practice on manikins using ECG equipment. The maximum number of people per session is 5.
The ECG remains one of the most useful initial investigations and whilst acquisition is easy, interpretation requires skill and understanding.
This course is for all Trust staff who are responsible for performing a 12 Lead ECG as part of their role. This includes employees and other contractors such as locums and agency staff.
Taking an ECG is a critical skill for any healthcare worker in both primary and secondary care. This course will help you expand your understanding and practical skills for your clinical area, including wards, clinics, primary care and health screening.
