Eastwood Park Training has long had a reputation as the place to go for hands on, practical training for healthcare engineers.
Now innovative and unique teaching props are being used on medical equipment courses to ensure learners fully understand many of the more complex elements.
Eastwood Park EBME trainer, Dr Scott Brown, has introduced a number of new ways to better illustrate elements of the “Biomedical equipment maintenance practice” course:
“ECG is one of the most common physiological parameters to measure for diagnostic purposes and a core part of the course. Whilst the anatomical points that the electrodes are placed at could be described textually, I developed an ‘ECG t-shirt’ so that delegates have a visual reference from which to learn.
“Other props have been developed to teach lung compliance and ECH right leg drive in an equally memorable way.”
Dr Scott will be speaking at the EBME seminar on 26th April, on “Electrocardiographs: Current best practice and future challenges.”
