Provided by Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
About the course
"One of the best courses I have attended." - Delegate of previous course
Overview
Clinical scenarios such as a sick infant with a possible underlying cardiac problem, syncope and palpitations as well as the increasingly common question of cardiac screening in children will be discussed using real-life cases. Workshops aiming to provide basic understanding of paediatric ECGs (electrocardiograms), echocardiography and approaches to a child with a heart murmur will be undertaken in interactive short group sessions.
