Certified Course in Syncope and Related Disorders

Syncope and related disorders are responsible for up to 10% of admissions to hospital and general practice attendances.

The Inaugural Syncope and Related Disorders post-graduate certified clinical programme, through the Mercer’s Institute for Successful Ageing, is the first course of its kind designed to provide you with the in-depth knowledge, skills and attributes to disorders in a range of clinical settings and within a syncope unit.
