Pulmonary embolism - clinical update practice review

Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a high-risk, time-critical condition requiring rapid recognition and evidence-based management. This clinical practice review eLearning course provides Australian healthcare professionals with an up-to-date overview of the latest international PE guidelines released in 2026.

Course Overview
Follow the case of Nina, a 73 year old widower, recovering at home after a hip replacement, who calls 000 after collapsing.

Through this scenario, the course translates current guideline recommendations into practical clinical decision-making. Apply risk stratification tools to Nina's case as you work through diagnostic pathways, treatment decisions, and escalation of care.

Interactive decision points and targeted feedback support clinical reasoning and reinforce safe, consistent practice.

Why you should enrol 
Updated guidelines are changing how clinicians assess and manage PE introducing a new clinical classification system that links severity to prognosis and treatment pathways - improving both decision-making and communication.

Using a structured, algorithm-based approach, this case-study will help ensure your clinical practice:

• utilises the new A-E classification system
• applies risk stratification to guide diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care
• follows appropriate first-line management recommendations
