RCPE: Aberdeen | RCPE Events

Horizontal

Overview

This event is taking place in-person only.

RCPE Aberdeen returns for the first time since the covid pandemic and will offer an up-date on a broad range of topics delivered by excellent and highly regarded speakers. Talks will cover delirium, diarrhoea, heart failure, giant cell arteritis, HIV and digital health.

We are delighted to welcome Sir Martin Landry, Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine at the University of Oxford, to deliver the Jim Petrie lecture where he will share insights from the RECOVERY trial. To round off the day we will hear about personalised music playlists and their role in health.

This symposium provides valuable CPD and opportunities for discussion and debate for a wide audience, from physicians and GPs of all grades, to students, nursing and AHP colleagues, and physician associates. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Aberdeen for what promises to be a lively and informative day.
