HealthManagement, Volume 7 - Issue 2, 2007
Delegates at the annual Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of Europe (CIRSE) congress can expect an updated, restructured conference this edition. This year the programme has changed format, so that delegates can follow one of six main themes right through the meeting, including:
• Vascular intervention
• Transcatheter embolisation
• Non-vascular intervention
• Interventional oncology
• Clinical practice development
• Basic education theme
The congress programme is designed so that attendees can follow one of these themes with little or no overlap. Importantly, for junior attendees, the basic educational theme running through the meeting has eight Foundation Courses, divided into two main topics: peripheral vascular disease and transcatheter embolisation. There are also three basic workshops on embolisation technique to build on the knowledge gained during the corresponding Foundation Course. For the first time, there will be an optional online test after the Foundation Course as part of the e-learning initiative.
To register for the congress, or view the programme in greater detail, please visit the CIRSE website.
