The latest HSSIB report has highlighted ongoing challenges in how ECGs are taught, learned, and interpreted across paramedic education and we’re breaking it all down.

In this conversation, our Chief Clinical Information Officer Ian Teague sits down with Mark Ainsworth‑Smith MBE, former Consultant Pre‑Hospital Care Practitioner, to explore the most common ECG misconceptions highlighted in the report. Together, they discuss why these misunderstandings persist, how they affect both students and practicing clinicians, and what can be done to improve ECG confidence across the profession. 

Whether you're a paramedic student, early‑career clinician, educator, or simply looking to strengthen your ECG interpretation skills, this conversation offers clear insights and practical takeaways.
