Clinical Update - ECG interpretation with Tamsin Jones
Dr Tamsin Jones
This week we are bringing you a Clinical Update on ECG interpretation delivered by Dr Tamsin Jones. Tamsin is currently an academic at Monash Nursing and Midwifery, Monash University teaching into the Undergraduate and Graduate Nursing degrees, and a mother to three young children. A Fellow of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia, Tamsin has an extensive background in emergency nursing and is passionate about emergency nursing. She continues to work clinically when time permits.
Having taught emergency nurses and nursing students for many years, Tamsin shares her insights into the main barriers we have when it comes to interpreting ECGs to dispel any myths and misconceptions (including the purpose of the aVR lead!). Tamsin provides a structured approach to ECG interpretation and handy tips regarding ECGs for common presentations to the ED.
One of Tamsin’s areas of interest includes emergency nursing education. She has recently completed her PhD examining the minimum practice standards for graduate emergency nursing programs and, as of today, is officially Dr Tamsin Jones!
We hope you enjoy the Clinical Update and find some useful hints and tips to incorporate into your practice.
Some examples and further explanations of the ECGs we discuss in this episode can be found at the wonderful Life in the Fast Lane ECG library:
