Courses on EP and Devices.

Many symposia, training days and conferences are also listed on the Events page

There is an HRUK Certificate of Accreditation training Course run at HRC every year and it is advised that where possible all trainees attend particularly at the beginning of their cardiology training.
Most EP and device courses are company sponsored and are a very useful source of training. It is advised to contact your local companies representative to find out the details of such courses.

 

Trainees are encouraged to attend local and national training days, international EP meetings and attend live electrophysiology/device courses where appropriate. At the end of this page, we have listed some courses which may be of interest to you.

The EP course is normally held every year at the end of June / beginning of July. Contact: Cardiology Research Department, telephone no. 020 7601 8639.
