About this event

  • Date and time Thu 25 Jun 2026 from 9:00am to 3:20pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Cardiology

Tachycardia is a common yet often challenging presentation in clinical practice, encompassing a wide range of arrhythmias with differing mechanisms, risks and management strategies. Accurate diagnosis requires confident ECG interpretation, a clear understanding of electrophysiology and the ability to apply structured clinical reasoning in both acute and elective settings.

This in-person study day provides a comprehensive and practical overview of tachycardia, covering core principles alongside more complex scenarios. With advances in catheter ablation, device monitoring and diagnostic approaches, this programme equips trainees with the knowledge and confidence needed to assess and manage tachycardia effectively in modern clinical practice.

Why attend?

  • Develop confidence in interpreting ECGs and differentiating narrow and wide complex tachycardias
  • Learn structured approaches to diagnosing and managing tachycardia in acute and elective settings
  • Explore key conditions including SVT, atrial fibrillation, post-ablation arrhythmias and autonomic syndromes
  • Apply learning through practical, case-based ECG masterclass sessions

Aims of the event

  • Provide a comprehensive understanding of tachycardia diagnosis, classification and management
  • Explore evidence-based approaches to managing tachycardia across a range of clinical contexts
  • Support trainees to develop practical skills in ECG interpretation and clinical decision-making

Learning outcomes
By attending this event, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between narrow and wide complex tachycardias using structured ECG interpretation
  • Apply systematic approaches to assessing tachycardia in acute and elective settings
  • Classify common tachyarrhythmias, including SVT, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter
  • Formulate appropriate acute and long-term management strategies
  • Identify when to refer for specialist input, including electrophysiology and ablation
  • Interpret device data and apply it to clinical decision-making

Who should attend?
This study day is aimed primarily at:

  • Cardiology trainees
  • Medical trainees involved in acute and general medicine
  • Foundation doctors and early-career clinicians with an interest in cardiology
