    2025 Course Delegate

  • “It was great to gain insight from other local centres, especially regarding physiologist-led services. Lots of key points to take away to assist with our own service development.”

    2025 Course Delegate

  • “I really enjoyed the presentations, and learned a lot throughout the day. I thought it was very well-organised and also liked having practical sessions where we practised finding the coronary arteries on echo.”
