CVD Prevention Course

Cardiovascular disease prevention is changing rapidly with new lipid-lowering, cardiometabolic and anti-inflammatory therapies transforming clinical practice. This one-day course, run by the British Cardiovascular Society, showcases cutting-edge advances in CVD prevention and makes the case for prevention as a core cardiology responsibility.

The course covers secondary prevention and lipids (including LDL-C targets, emerging therapies, lipoprotein(a) and familial hypercholesterolaemia), the cardio-renal-metabolic interface (obesity, diabetes, CKD, hypertension and lifestyle), interventional prevention (CT coronary imaging, antiplatelet strategy and inflammation), and how to build and lead cardiology-run prevention pathways from tertiary risk clinics to community outreach. A national and international expert faculty will deliver all sessions.

The day will close with a patient interview and interactive simulated prevention multidisciplinary team discussion. Delegates will leave ready to make prevention part of everyday cardiology practice.

Who should attend:
• Consultant cardiologists
• Cardiology trainees
• Clinical pharmacists, cardiac specialist nurses and advanced care practitioners working within or running prevention services
• Lipidologists and physicians in related specialties (diabetes, endocrinology, general and acute medicine)
• GPs with an extended role in cardiology or a special interest

This is an in-person only event; it is not hybrid.
