Contemporary and Futuristic Cardiology

Horizontal

Overview

This online symposium brings together experts in cardiovascular disease and will challenge your thinking in contemporary cardiological problems.

The morning starts with looking at treatments which may not be common and case studies showcasing how to break from your comfort zone during diagnostic and treatment uncertainty. Interactive sessions will invite you to find out how the best in their field balance risk for individual patients.

The afternoon session includes the Dr George Alexander Gibson Lecture in congenital heart disease, followed later by a glimpse into the future of personalised medicine.

Feedback next year on how the RCPE Cardiology Symposium helped you better manage your patients.
