SH-M00
Essential Cardiac Rhythm Management
Cardiac Rhythm Management I is designed as a bridging module for qualified professionals intending to seek International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) or British Heart Rhythm Society (BHRS) accreditation, a post-registration professional qualification. Practitioners will increase their underpinning knowledge, further their understanding and improve clinical skills to improve patient quality of care.
Applicants should note that IBHRE or BHRS accreditation is an independent qualification examined by an external professional group not linked to the University. Completion of this module supports learning for cardiac rhythm management training but is not a guarantee of successful accreditation.

Skills labs will allow students to develop competence in the clinical techniques necessary for placement activity.
-
SHC240
Measurement of Cardiovascular Function During Provocation Testing
This module builds on knowledge and skills gained in SHC157 Introduction to Cardiovascular Science. Students will explore ambulatory and exercise electrocardiography as well as ambulatory blood pressure recording. Skills labs will allow students to develop competence in the clinical techniques necessary for placement activity.
-
SHC337
Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Management
This module build on the skills and knowledge gained during level 1 and 2 cardiology modules. Students will explore the principles and practice of arrhythmia diagnosis and management. There is a strong focus on advancing ECG interpretation skills and on bradycardia device implantation. Pathophysiology knowledge will be advanced and related to arrhythmias. Students will be expected to critically analyse data and formulate reports.
-
