Gareth J Mallon

Gareth Mallon has worked for the ambulance service in the UK since 1991 and a Paramedic since 1995. He has had a fascination and a passion about ECGs since being taught by a brilliant instructor who made the lessons not only informative but in a fun, basic and simple style that was easy to understand without realising that you were learning. "Having learnt a lot from him, and as the title suggests, I have tried to make my book easy and basic with lots of pictures and graphics to help make sense of the wonderful world of ECGs".

Gareth is also involved in in charities that highlight about Sudden Adult Death syndromes, working with Cardiac Risk in the Young (www.c-r-y.org.uk) and The Joe Humphries Memorial Trust (www.jhmt.org.uk). Both of these charities are involved in research and education about the 12 young adults a week that die from an undiagnosed cardiac condition. Gareth has also been a guest speaker for various medical conferences and has articles published in the Journal for Paramedic Practice (www.paramedicpractice.com) about SADS.
