Testimonials
As a ST4 trainee the course provided useful insights into key areas of the curriculum often challenging to access. The review of new guidelines, Q&A sessions and approachability of presenters was great.
Broad range of topics with a lot of take home tips to apply in clinical practice!
Excellent opportunity to not only brush up on important but nuances of common presentations (or rare cardiac presentations) but also a rare opportunity to network with other cardiology trainees.
