You will also formulate a protocol for investigation of cardiac disease, based on your reading. This will be a group exercise. Similarly you will devise protocols for antibiotic prophylaxis and management of patients who are anticoagulated. These are to be applicable to local needs and resources. There is lots of reading so you may not get through it all, but remember to read critically and bear in mind what you’ve being doing in Public Health!
