This one-day meeting is aimed at paediatric trainees of all levels to help offer more in-depth knowledge of cardiac presentations in newborns and children in acute and outpatient settings. The session will develop your understanding of the principles of managing both cyanotic and acyanotic conditions. The session has an exciting line-up of expert speakers from both district general hospitals and tertiary cardiology centres and will also provide a careers session to support trainees in their future development.
By attending, you will:
- Understand the underlying pathology and specific management of inflammatory cardiac conditions
- Be able to develop better knowledge of cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease
- Interpretation of ECGs, understanding of arrhythmias and when to refer for tertiary assessment
- Provide an overview of SPIN modules and sub-specialty training in paediatric cardiology
- Understand the physiology of patent ductus arteriosus, its initial assessment and management on the neonatal unit
- Understand the complexities of ‘just a heart murmur’ and the role of the general paediatrician and ongoing input from tertiary centers
