CARDIAC CARE & CATHETER LABORATORY SEMINAR - 2 DAY PROGRAM

NEW Seminar in New Zealand.
The content has previously been delivered by both Anne and Murray in Australia. 

Two days of expert, enjoyable presentations from two leading nursing authorities on these important nursing subjects.

Who can attend:
This seminar relates to the nurse in the Cath lab, CCU, critical care, cardiothoracic ward,  emergency department, community and as well as the ward nurse wishing to increase their knowledge of clinical assessment skills and intervene in a situation where a patient's condition is deteriorating. 

This seminar is aimed at nurses in these specialised areas, but the ward nurse would also benefit from increased knowledge of cardiac nursing.

Very beneficial for the nurse who is wanting to eventually work in CCU or the Cath Lab.

Nurses who have attended Anne's previous Respiratory and Cardiac  seminar, would find aspects of the the 12 lead ECG lecture, and AF repeated, but with added depth relating to different content.  

The lectures will have greater depth and a variety of subjects that differ from Anne's previous seminars. Please see the outline of content below.
