Cardiology Webinar - Chest Pain and Palpitations
Paramedic Education and Support Programme (PESP) for Primary and Urgent Care Session

1.4 Cardiology - Chest Pain and Palpitations
Thursday 3rd July 2025 12:00-13:00 
Hosted by Helen Beaumont-Waters, Head of Clinical Development (Primary and Urgent Care), College of Paramedics
Presented by Dr Christine A'Court
PESP continues on Thursday 3rd July 2025 12:00-13:00  with a Cardiology teaching session by Dr Christine A'Court.
Christine worked for 10 years in internal medicine and intensive care medicine; then for nearly 30 years as a GP, with an extended role in Cardiology during the last 8 years. She helped establish a community cardiology service in Oxfordshire, run by upskilled GPs seeing up to 90% of patients referred from primary care to Cardiology.
She has worked in commissioning, primary care research and enjoys teaching, particularly cardiovascular medicine.

Her session ‘Chest Pain and Palpitations’ will help develop your assessment and management skills specifically for primary care, with a particular focus on who needs a referral, who doesn't and which is the most appropriate service for different presentations. 
 
Paramedic Education and Support Programme (PESP) for Primary and Urgent Care
The PESP programme aims to support the educational needs of paramedics with a focus on primary and urgent care though it is open to all paramedics. 
Further information can be found on the PESP webpage HERE

PESP teaching sessions will be led by GPs who have experience of working with or who employ paramedics in primary care. These live teaching sessions will run over lunchtime with a question and answer session at the end. A recording of the presentation will be uploaded to the College’s Moodle platform, though the Q&A will NOT be recorded. 

Further discussion will take place using a community forum. Booking onto the event does not mean you will automatically have access to Moodle, you need to sign up for that separately HERE though you will only need to sign up to Moodle once. 

Who can join the PESP community?
PESP is for all paramedics across the UK. Members of the College of Paramedics have free access indefinitely. Non-member access has been funded by NHS England from April 2025 to the end of December 2025.
