I am the founder of www.cardiowebinar.com
Cardiowebinar is a programme of free Cardiology based webinars. This was an initiative borne out of the suspension of formal cardiology training during the first surge of the COVID pandemic in April 2020 and now offers ~100 webinars that covers the entire curriculum. It is open to any healthcare professional interested in cardiac care, across the globe. The program was shortlisted as a ‘Best of the Best’ Clinical Abstracts by the British Cardiovascular Society 2021 conference committee It was a finalist in the 2023 Health Service Journal Partnership award as the “best educational programme in the NHS”.

For Trainees/Healthcare Professionals
1) SVTs (CardioWebinar)
Cardiowebinar – SVTs (April 2020) – Here I discuss tips for diagnosing SVTs from an ECG. This Webinar is the highest watch (>1000 views) on the BJCA website.
2) Applying for a Consultant Job (CardioWebinar)
CardioWebinar – Applying for a Consultant Job – here I discuss what a trainee needs to know!
3) AFib ablation for the general cardiologist
Cardiowebinar – “AFib ablation for the general cardiologist” (Jan 2021) – Here I discuss when we might consider referral of a patient for AF catheter ablation.
4) Why study EP (Heart BMJ podcast):
5) Cardiac Arrest simulation in COVID19pt:
I led a team of ALS instructors to develop a simulation video of Cardiac arrest in patients with Covid-19 (collaboration with ICAST). This was in response to a significant change in conventional ALS guidelines stating chest compressions should not be started until full Personal Protective Equipment is donned. This video received >100,000 views in its first month, and was posted on multiple hospital intranet sites.
6) VT ablation in structural heart disease: who, why, when and how? (Heart Rhythm Congress 2020)
7) Decoding Cardiac Electrophysiology: Understanding the Techniques and Defining the Jargon

I authored the chapter on “Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Tachycardia ablation”. For all those new to the field of cardiac electrophysiology, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It simplifies some of the complex terminology used by electrophysiologists into terms understood by the wider cardiac community.
