June 5 – 11 is Arrhythmia Alliance’ National Heart Rhythm Week, and the specific focus for 2017 is on: ‘Identifying the Undiagnosed Person’.

The alliance’s aim this year is to identify 1,000 people with an irregular heart rhythm, take 10,000 pulse checks, and make as many as 1 million people pulse-aware, by giving, sharing, and displaying useful information at home, and in the local community.

At Hygia Healthcare Training, we encourage our valued clients to get involved in spreading the word within the workplace on such events, as early diagnosis of medical issues – including arrhythmias – can significantly improve the lives of the people affected.

Our comprehensive healthcare training courses linked to cardiac health all include the essential insight into how to react, both physically and mentally, in the event of a heart-related medical emergency.

It is important that employees are kept confident in their abilities, and competent in their practice, so we offer a range of excellent healthcare training solutions including refreshers for qualified, professional staff, and full or several-day courses for new trainees. With our ability to provide effective healthcare training to individuals, groups, and entire workforces, we are sure to have a training solution suitable for your needs.
