This comprehensive 12-Lead ECG Interpretation training programme is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required to accurately perform and interpret 12-lead ECGs.

The workshop covers the essentials of ECG equipment, electrode placement, and the conduction system of the heart, progressing to the interpretation of normal and abnormal ECG waveforms. Practical sessions and case studies ensure participants gain hands-on experience and confidence in ECG interpretation.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
