Study days offered at SVHM are a valuable resource for professional growth. These dedicated days provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills. Through a variety of educational programs and workshops, we empower our staff to stay updated with the latest advancements in their field. Promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among colleagues, our study days help foster a culture of continuous learning. By investing in these educational opportunities, we ensure that our healthcare professionals are well-equipped to provide the highest level of care to our patients.
The ECG Course equips you with an understanding of 12-lead ECG analysis, interpretation and management. A good foundational understanding of cardiac anatomy and cardiac function is required. We recommend completing the Heart Starter Study Day prior.
This course runs over 8 weeks with approximately 1 hour of online content each week, consisting of videos, a quiz, ECG practice and further reading. There will also be supporting face-to-face tutorials. There are 2 x four hour tutorials from 08:30 - 12:30. It is highly recommended that participants attend these tutorials.
Participants will be eligible for 1 x 8hr study leave during the 8 weeks to be taken in discussion with your manager.
