Due to popular demand we have again increased the number of hands-on sessions this year to give you more options. These courses are suitable for anyone wishing to know more about congenital heart disease and wanting to observe the various lesions first hand.
Dates for the hands-on workshops (3 days)
Monday 9th - 11th May 2011
Monday 29th June to Wednesday 1st July 2011
The aim of this three day course is to allow for small group discussion, in an informal setting, of important groups of congenital lesions both in theory and by hands-on examination of specimens. By the end of the course, participants will be comfortable with the anatomy of the major groups of congenital heart lesions and be able to analyse hearts in a sequential segmental fashion.
** Spaces are strictly limited to 10 delegates to allow for more personal tuition, time for personal examination of specimens and discussion **
