9/6/10 There have
been important changes made to the certificate of Electrocardiography
examination. The syllabus has been reviewed and an updated version is
now available. Go either to the member's area or to
this link. A small amount of material has been removed, and some
other areas have been listed in more detail. This should make the
syllabus more user-friendly and enable it to be used as a revision tool
more easily. There is now a small section of the Electrocardiographic
Instrumentation, Technique and Interpretation paper called “Essential
ECG Interpretation”. This section will comprise of three 12-lead ECGs.
The above changes apply to the September 2010 exam onwards. The
Certificate exam will continue to be held in September of each year in
Birmingham. It will also be held in a different location around the UK
in March of each year in order to make it easier for staff to attend.
Bournemouth is likely to be the venue for March 2011.
The Proficiency of Electrocardiography exam will now be available to
non-members of the Society as of September 2010. Syllabus available from
Member's pages or from the SCST Office.
