SUMMARY:Improving clinical practice in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) - July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Fetal\, paediatric and adult congenital cardiology is a rapidly developing field of medicine – with advances in healthcare 98.5% of those born with congenital heart disease can be expected to survive to adulthood.\nCongenital heart disease (CHD) patients often require lifelong care\, and training ensures healthcare professionals can manage their needs effectively throughout different life stages\, from infancy to adulthood. \nEducation tailored specifically to CHD supports professionals to effectively manage\, care for and support patients navigating complex comorbidities thus\, empowering patients to live fulfilling lives. This is particularly important in community cardiology\, and emergency departments where supporting a CHD patient can seem daunting if not your area of expertise. \nWe know that CHD training contributes to improved patient outcomes\, including reduced morbidity and mortality\, and enhanced quality of life – our Improving Clinical Practice in Congenital Heart Disease course will enable healthcare professionals to provide optimal care. \nQuality assured\nOur four-day programme provides a quality assured qualification and provision of a Certificate of Achievement in Improving Clinical Practice in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). \nCovering all aspects of a CHD patient’s life-long journey\, from fetal diagnosis to elder years\, our experts focus on informing best practice and promoting the right care at the right time. \nWe’ve received great feedback with previous delegates telling us they feel they have greatly benefited from gaining the knowledge and skills required to feel confident to manage the care of the patient with CHD. \nCourse dates\n\n\n\n\nDate\nTopic\n\n\nWednesday 2 July 2025\nIntroduction – the CHD ‘Roadmap’\n\n\nThursday 3 July 2025\nFrom diagnosis to outcome – the care pathway\n\n\nThursday 10 July 2025\nNavigating the CHD pathway  \n\n\nFriday 11 July 2025\nLife beyond the diagnosis\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse delivery\nThe course is appropriate for all healthcare professionals who may find themselves involved in the care of patients with CHD. \nInpatient\, outpatient and community care providers across all professional groups are welcome\, bringing with them a range of expertise from their professional practice. \nTo enable interested colleagues to participate in our course\, we are offering two methods of delivery: \n\nFace to face at the Freeman Hospital for those working the North East and North Cumbria region – fee is £520\nOnline via MS Teams for those working further afield – fee is £375\n\nLearning outcomes\nAt the end of the course delegates will recognise and understand: \n\nthe physiology of the normal heart and developing fetus in utero alongside the anatomy and physiology of common basic CHD lesions\,\nthe complexities and pathway for diagnostic fetal imaging\, interventional cardiology\, the expected outcomes and approach to counselling\,\nnormal ECG and common arrhythmias in CHD and the range of cardiac imaging approaches in the diagnosis and ongoing management including staged surgical options\,\nthe pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension with associated CHD\,\nthe common pharmacological strategies and complex nutritional requirements throughout a CHD patient’s life.\n\nThey will also gain knowledge and understanding of: \n\nthe process of transportation and the importance of preparation and communication\,\npre-operative and post-operative care\, exploring complexities and challenges of managing the child with CHD\,\nadvanced\, complex pathways for transplantation\, extracorporeal life support and fontan surveillance\,\nhow to navigate ethical dilemmas and difficult and challenging conversations\,\nthe transition into adult services\, the psychological impact on health and wellbeing for the patient and their family\, and end of life care.\n\nAudience\nThis course would benefit any healthcare professional who may become involved in the care of a patient with CHD along their lifelong journey from neonates to adult care.

This is an essential building block which equips colleagues to go on to the subsequent modules. We learn about the research landscape\, and begin to think about where we fit into it. We cover topics like the difference between research\, audit and service evaluation. We spend time thinking about who we are as clinicians\, as potential researchers\, and what the opportunities might be for us. \nIntended Audience\nThe Newcastle Hospitals’ 4Ps Programme supports the needs of all NMAHPs regardless of where they are on their research journey.

This is an essential building block which equips colleagues to go on to the subsequent modules. We learn about the research landscape\, and begin to think about where we fit into it. We cover topics like the difference between research\, audit and service evaluation. We spend time thinking about who we are as clinicians\, as potential researchers\, and what the opportunities might be for us. \nIntended Audience\nThe Newcastle Hospitals’ 4Ps Programme supports the needs of all NMAHPs regardless of where they are on their research journey. \n\n\n\n Add to calendar
