About this course
This one-day intensive training programme equips emergency clinicians and acute care professionals with advanced cardiac emergency management skills. Developed by experienced Emergency Medicine Consultants with over a decade of cardiac emergency experience, the course delivers maximum impact in minimal time with no theoretical padding.
The course covers ten in-depth modules addressing all important cardiac emergencies: acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, pericardial emergencies, hypertensive crises, valvular emergencies, cardiogenic shock, and advanced ECG interpretation with cardiac procedural skills. Content is organized around evidence-based excellence spanning cardiovascular pathophysiology, clinical evaluation, management guidelines, clinical decision-making frameworks, advanced multi-organ care, and systematic approaches to avoiding mistakes.
Delivered via live, interactive, internet-based methodology with case-based and real-life scenario learning guided by experienced consultant cardiologists, the course emphasizes immediate clinical application. You will gain hands-on competency in important interventions including synchronized cardioversion, emergency pacing, pericardiocentesis, and advanced airway management in cardiac patients, alongside safe procedural sedation and recognition of time-critical complications.
Essential for emergency physicians, acute medicine specialists, ICU/anaesthetic staff, ED and ICU nurses, resuscitation officers, paramedics, and medical students, the course transforms protocol-followers into expert decision-makers. Learning outcomes include the ability to recognize subtle cardiac emergencies, deliver high-quality resuscitation and haemodynamic support, employ systematic assessment techniques, synthesize clinical findings with diagnostic data, calculate and apply risk stratification tools (HEART, GRACE, TIMI), and educate colleagues with confidence.
