Hands-on cardiac morphology course

Overview

This three-day course takes registrants from the basics of normal hearts and simple congenital malformations, through to the more complex defects and the conduction system, with live video demonstrations.

This unique course is recommended for all professionals who manage and treat patients with congenital heart disease. It allows participants to appreciate the arrangement of the malformations in 3D.

Our highly experienced team of tutors includes surgeons, pediatric cardiologists and pathologists who will provide guidance tailored to the needs of the participant.

CPD applied for.

To allow for an optimal tutor attendee ratio at the practical sessions, we have to limit the number of participants for the full course to 64 attendees. Register early to avoid disappointment.

This is the original hands-on cardiac morphology course in London and has been running successfully now for 25 years.

The course programme is endorsed by:

  • the British Cardiovascular (this links to the Cardiology Curriculum: 3.1 Advanced Adolescent  and Adult Congenital Heart Disease, 3.5 Interventional Cardiology,  3.10 Advanced Transthoracic Echocardiography).
  • Morphology of congenital heart malformations. Incorporating the foundation course under the auspices of the British Paediatric Cardiac Association.
