This independent event will be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies
Join us for our 20th Annual Scientific Meeting where the focus will be on how we can develop multidisciplinary team services in heart and kidney care to meet future needs. This popular one-day meeting will bring together an expert faculty and delegates across the cardiovascular, metabolic and renal teams. State-of-the-art presentations with interactive discussion and case-based learning will be offered, with time to network in the breaks and visit our exhibition.
Is it for me?
Our meetings are aimed at healthcare professionals and are aimed at anyone treating the cardiorenal patient particularly those working in heart failure, cardiology, nephrology, diabetes, lipids, endocrinology, care of the elderly, general medicine, general practice, clinical pharmacy and allied disciplines. Feedback from past delegates has been very positive with 100% of delegates at our last meeting saying the meeting was clinically excellent to good.
Accreditation
The Cardiorenal Forum will award 5 CPD credits for this meeting.
Academic endorsement
Last year’s meeting was endorsed by The British Society for Heart Failure (BSH), the Irish Nephrology Society, Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), and the UK Kidney Association (UKKA), from whom we will be seeking academic endorsement for this year's meeting.
