Overview
The 5th annual CORE meeting is taking place on 16 - 17 June 2021 hosted by Radcliffe Cardiology in collaboration with Optima Education and Abbott Vascular.
WATCH ON-DEMAND
The meeting is led by course directors Prof Adrian Banning, Prof Evald Christiansen, Dr Jonathan Hill and Prof James Spratt and streamed online from our London, Copenhagen, and Dublin hubs.
CORE 2021 will focus on contemporary standards of clinical practice, complex lesion and patient strategies and advanced diagnostic and treatment methods. The goal of CORE is to ensure procedural efficiencies while achieving durable patient outcomes. Also, we will review patient care beyond intervention and discuss the best practices and innovation outside the catheterisation lab.
This year we are introducing the CORE Challenge on the Atrivity app. Join us on the app for an interactive educational battle – a different way of learning and an exciting opportunity to challenge other professionals in the interventional space.
