Aim of the Course
The course is aimed at medical SHOs and registrars who regularly undertake medical on call shifts. Cardiac emergencies can be some of the most daunting situations to deal with when on call. This course is designed to help make individuals more comfortable in these situations. Using state of the art simulation equipment we allow candidates to practice dealing with scenarios commonly seen in hospital.
Content of the Course
The course will cover a number of cardiac emergencies such as tachyarrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias and cardiac tamponade. There will also be dedicated sessions on ECG interpretation and the latest Resuscitation Council algorithms for peri-arrest arrhythmias. Every candidate will have the opportunity to take part in and lead scenarios. We utilise the most advanced simulation equipment in the region and trained simulation staff to make the scenarios as realistic as possible. Some photos from the pilot course are available in the gallery section of this website. Feedback from our pilot course was overwhelmingly positive and can be viewed at the bottom of this page. Please see the course flyer below for further details.
When and where is the next course?
The last course was held on Wednesday 13th April 2016 at the Centre for Simulation and Patient Safety based on the University Hospital Aintree Site. There are links below to a local map and site map for Aintree hospital (building no.28 on site map).
Course Fee & Registration
The next course is scheduled for early 2017. Further details regarding this and the registration process will be placed on this page in due course. If you would like to register provisional interest please fill out the form below.
