The second part of the clinical skills series, for doctors and senior nurses preparing for UKMLA, USMLE or practice in the UK.

ย 


๐Ÿฉบ Why Core Clinical Skills Matter

Exams such as the UKMLA and USMLE reward clear clinical reasoning, and everyday practice rewards it even more. ECGs, blood gases, resuscitation and chest X-rays appear again and again on the wards, in emergency departments and in assessment stations, so a calm, systematic approach to each of them pays off.

This part of the clinical skills series is built for doctors and senior nurses who want to organise what they already know and fill the gaps, whether they are revising for an exam or preparing to work in the UK.

ย 


๐Ÿซ€ ECG, Arrhythmias & Heart Blocks

Work through rhythm recognition step by step: rate, rhythm, axis, intervals and conduction. Learn how to separate common arrhythmias, recognise the different degrees of heart block and decide which findings need urgent attention.

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Build a repeatable method for reading any ECG.
  • โšก Recognise common arrhythmias and heart blocks.
  • ๐Ÿšจ Know which patterns need escalation.

ย 


๐Ÿงช Arterial Blood Gases & Acid-Base Balance

Blood gas interpretation becomes simple once you follow an order: oxygenation, pH, carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, then compensation. Practise tying the numbers back to the patient in front of you.

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ Read ABG results in a logical sequence.
  • โš–๏ธ Understand acid-base disorders and compensation.
  • ๐Ÿซ Link results to respiratory and metabolic causes.

ย 


๐Ÿฉป Chest X-Ray & Basic Life Support

Learn a systematic way to review a chest X-ray, from technical quality to airway, lungs, heart and bones. Refresh current basic life support and resuscitation concepts, and see how they fit with the rest of your acute care knowledge.

ย 


๐Ÿ“š Common Diseases & Exam Preparation

The course also covers common diseases by body system, plus study techniques, IELTS preparation and MRCP Part 2 revision. With 9 sections and 33 lectures, about 9.5 hours of video, you can work at your own pace and return to any section when you need it.
