SH-M00
Essential Cardiac Rhythm Management
Cardiac Rhythm Management I is designed as a bridging module for qualified professionals intending to seek International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) or British Heart Rhythm Society (BHRS) accreditation, a post-registration professional qualification. Practitioners will increase their underpinning knowledge, further their understanding and improve clinical skills to improve patient quality of care.
Applicants should note that IBHRE or BHRS accreditation is an independent qualification examined by an external professional group not linked to the University. Completion of this module supports learning for cardiac rhythm management training but is not a guarantee of successful accreditation.
