Helping to save lives: Pioneering technology developed in Sheffield Print E-mail

It could save lives, it's been created here in Yorkshire and it's about to go worldwide.  A leading heart specialist from Sheffield has developed a revolutionary new online course which teaches medical staff how to recognise when someone's having a heart attack.  Swift medical treatment is vital of course, but until now only a text book showed ambulance crews or paramedics how to interpret an ECG.

Ecgskills.net is a new online training resource for all healthcare practitioners involved in conducting and interpreting Electrocardiographs (ECG) and has been featured on BBC's Look North. Click here to go to the feature.
