Royal College of Physicians
South of England Cardiology Training Day
Friday 27th February, 2009
Wolfson Lecture Theatre, Royal College of Physicians, London
The Chairmen of the Specialist Training Committees in Cardiology for Thames, Cambridge,
Oxford and Wessex regions have arranged a south of England SpR Training Day, to be held
on Friday 27th February, 2009, at the Royal College of Physicians, London.
This event is supported by each of the relevant Deaneries and all Trainees in Cardiology will
be expected to attend. A register will be taken at the end of the day and attendance certificates
issued. The Training Day will be included as part of the Formal Training Programme
organised by each of the Specialist Training Committees.
Space in the lecture theatre is limited. We are inviting all specialist registrars who hold an
NTN, as well as all LAT post holders. Trainees holding an NTN, currently doing research, are
also welcome. If there is sufficient space we would be happy to accept applications from
trainees currently in research but not holding an NTN.
For early registrants, there is an opportunity to attend either a Workshop, with a display of
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps, which will be run by Dr Alun Harcombe, or to participate in the
angioplasty simulator Sessions. Please indicate on the enclosed registration form if you wish
to be considered for one of the workshops. (Space is limited, so places will be allocated to the
first applicants).
The draft programme is enclosed. It would be appropriate if you would now discuss the
arrangements for clinical care in your hospital with your Educational Supervisor (Consultant)
and other colleagues who will be affected by your absence. A registration form is also
enclosed and we recommend early registration.
It is essential that you discuss the arrangements for clinical cover for your hospital and then
send the registration form to BCOS Ltd before 21st February, 2009.
