Module - Electrocardiograms in Practice (Level 6)
This module will develop the skill and understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac conditions to interpret, analyse and apply knowledge relating to 12-lead ECG with support of evidence-based practice. Learning content will support in the understanding of case study clinical scenarios presenting with cardiac complaints. The module will explore the ability to apply assessment and analysis techniques and subsequent understanding of treatment based on underlying pathophysiology. You will determine application to true clinical practice and demonstrate the ability to associate knowledge.
Students will gain knowledge which will demonstrate the student’s ability to analyse ECGs in clinical practice through a case study review of examples.
By the end of this module you will:
- Develop skills that allow you to practise as a confident and competent clinician in the identification and management of ECG-related patient presentation.
- Study online, with the ability to bring your own clinical practice into your learning environment alongside other healthcare professionals in their fields of practice.
- Enhance your own clinical expertise and professional development from the comfort of wherever you like to study, at a time that suits you.
- Be involved in a stimulating and challenging academic and scholarly environment for you to advance your academic and professional development.
- Normal ECG recognition and conduction pathways
- ACS and STEMI recognition
- Atrial rhythms and dysrhythmias
- Ventricular and Supraventricular rhythm recognition
- Heart blocks
- Identification of threats to life and evidence based supported treatment
How you will learn
The variety of tasks will match learning outcomes and are designed to enhance understanding of applicability of learning to clinical practice.
During the module you will complete assigned formative tasks which will support ECG recognition skills completing asynchronous tasks designed to encourage learning and development of practice. Case study review and completion will be undertaken, which supports further study toward final examination.
How you will be assessed
The assessment will be an online written examination, with supporting portfolio to evidence association in clinical practice.
You must be currently working in practice and exposed to ECGs. If in doubt, contact module lead for clarification.
