This essential course will help you keep up to date with the latest developments in cardiology, diabetes and CKD. GPs are playing an increasingly important role in the prevention, early detection and management of vascular disease, and this programme will address the conditions that form a large proportion of your workload.
Using feedback from past events, we have tailored the 2010 programme to your needs. Our GP-focused expert speakers will cover new evidence and recent guidelines, and will show you how to put it all into practice. The topics covered on the day all have significant inclusion in the Quality and Outcomes Framework, and you will have time to pose your questions to the expert speakers.
Whether you require a brush up on your knowledge or have a specialist interest in cardiology, diabetes or chronic kidney disease, this masterclass will give you a comprehensive update that will help you improve the care and outcome of your patients.
