what this Event is about

This workshop’s content is considered essential knowledge for any nurse working in the areas of ward telemetry, coronary care, critical care and emergency nursing.

It also applies to the ward nurse wanting to upskill their knowledge of interpreting arrhythmias. Understanding the ‘famous five’ basics of ECG interpretation will significantly aid the nurse in recognising any deviation from the normal. Midwives are also encouraged to attend this workshop as it will address the presentation of a condition called SCAD that can occur in the post-partum period with no traditional risk factors.

This short workshop emphasises how to interpret a myocardial infarction on a 12-lead ECG. Without other information taking away from this essential skill.

Applicable for the nurse who only wants to upskill or learn to accurately and quickly how to recognise a myocardial infarction. This workshop will explore how early diagnosis leads to timely treatment and reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery.

“The fear and uncertainty of reading ECGs and telemetry is something I don’t need to feel anymore, now I have the confidence to apply Anne’s Famous 5 step process to interpret heart rhythms. If you feel anxious when faced with an ECG or telemetry monitor then this course will change all that!”
– Jodie, Telemetry and ECG Interpretation, The Gold Coast 2023

Lysandra

The course was easy to follow due to the presenter's clear passion for her subject. It was paced perfectly and every aspect was interesting and relevant. It has given me more confidence to begin to properly analyse why we are monitoring our patients and given me a good foundation to begin interpreting the rhythms.
