This summit offers a unique platform to connect with medical teams nationwide, fostering dialogue on the latest advancements and best practices in cardiac arrest management and extracorporeal support.
Curated by a panel of international experts, this gathering presents an exclusive opportunity to delve into the latest evidence and practices concerning cardiac arrest and ECPR. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive view of interventions for refractory cardiac arrests while offering practical insights into their implementation within the UK healthcare landscape.
Participants will engage with dedicated teams committed to enhancing cardiac arrest and ECPR management, facilitating invaluable networking opportunities with peers across the UK.
