Overview

This meeting is open to all junior cardiologists. It covers all aspects of what you need to know as a core cardiology trainee (ST3-ST5). Starting cardiology training can be a daunting process. There are a great number of practical skills to acquire, including angiography, pacing and echocardiography. In addition, emergencies can be a challenge to manage and learn at the same time.

We aim to cover all the essential procedures and emergencies you will encounter during your early cardiology training. The course is now in its 8th year and has received universally excellent feedback to date. The course is free for BJCA members to attend but we ask that you register in advance. Keep an eye on your BJCA member emails for registration opening in the near future.

If you wish to register to watch this live event virtually, you may do so for FREE here.
