Congenital heart disease is one of the most common types of birth defect, affecting up to 8 in every 1,000 babies born in the UK. This one-day course will help you to recognise and manage some of the common cardiac problems experienced by children.
The course focuses on clinical scenarios such as assessing a sick baby for possible underlying cardiac problems, syncope in childhood and managing children with palpitations. Our expert faculty also explore key questions around the screening of children for cardiac problems.
