We have great pleasure inviting you to join your colleagues for the Seventh Annual Conference

Now in its seventh successful year, Issues & Answers in Cardiovascular Disease is an annual conference for primary care professionals dealing with the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and associated disorders. The 2018 event will be held at EMCC in Nottingham, 16-17 November. The event brings together the whole primary care team to hear and learn from an inspirational programme with expert speakers in an informal environment with lots of opportunity to share best practice with colleagues. Discounts apply for early bookings and the meeting represents great value with practical education plus 9 CPD points.

How is the learning structured? 

The accredited programme is structured around:

• Plenary sessions providing up-to-date and need-to-know knowledge
• Interactive case-study lead learning allowing participants to apply this knowledge in practice scenarios
• Workshops offering practical guidance on frequently occurring management opportunities and issues
• Exchanges where colleagues discuss their examples of best practice

• Event App, our interactive tool to allow delegates to engage during sessions through polls and social media

Attendance is limited to 200 places to maximise interaction.

What topics are included? 

This programme focuses on the complexities of interrelated diseases which are among the most frequent and costly primary care visits caused by or associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, renal disease and related disorders. 

As always, it will emphasise interaction and practical learning specifically created to ensure that you leave with ideas and knowledge which you can immediately apply in your day-to-day practice. The event represents an amazing opportunity to see, hear and question our experts whilst networking with fellow primary care professionals.
