Description
Vidya Lalloo, Jan Heystek, and André du Plessis review ECG training in South African teaching hospitals in a paper from 2026. Emergency clinicians often misread electrocardiograms, with risks for patients. The authors view the problem through a framework about how people live inside institutions. Consultants sit between national rules and the daily pressures of trainees they supervise.
The review proposes accredited ECG workshops as a middle path. A framework for sustainable workshops balances regulator demands, university training duties, hospital quality goals, and clinicians' negative attitudes. Local realities, including curriculum change, are built in. The authors call for trials that test whether the workshops improve skill and patient outcomes.
