Vascular Anomalies: a clinical approach
This one-day workshop is aimed at doctors and allied health professionals who look after adults and children with vascular anomalies.
The workshop aims to give an overview of the field of vascular anomalies as well as promote discussion and debate over the management of complex cases.
The day will begin with an easy-to-use approach to the classification of vascular anomalies, followed by short talks on the diagnosis, clinical presentation, imaging and science behind the subject.
This will be followed by presentations from medical and surgical specialists, giving an insight into the multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients.
Finally, there will be a panel discussion at the end of the day at which complex cases will be discussed and opened for debate.
The Royal College of Radiologists has awarded this event with 6 credits RCR Category 1 CPD.
The Federation of the
Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom has awarded 6 category 1 (external)
CPD credit(s) for this event.
RCPCH has approved this event for up to 6 CPD credits, in accordance with the current RCPCH CPD Guidelines.

Why you should attend?
- acquire a clear and useful understanding of the basic classification system of vascular anomalies
- gain confidence in correctly diagnosing patients with vascular anomalies
- understand the role of medical intervention in this patient group
- appreciate the management options provided by interventional radiology and specialist surgical teams
- promote a multidisciplinary team approach to the care of such patients
- gain clinical insights from an expert panel discussion of complex cases
Who should attend?
Reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of this subject, we expect delegates from a variety of backgrounds, including paediatrics, dermatology, general practice, radiology (including interventional radiology) and surgical specialties such as plastic and craniofacial surgery, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery, ophthalmic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, paediatric surgery and vascular surgery.
Allied health professionals are strongly encouraged to attend, as specialist nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychology support are key in this patient group.

Abstracts are invited for complex cases to be presented for discussion and debate in the final session of the meeting. Submissions should include cases of vascular anomalies that have created major challenges related to diagnosis and/or management. Abstracts will be vetted by the organising committee and case selection will be based on the quality of the clinical content and relevance to the meeting.
A member of the submitting team must be attending the meeting and be prepared to briefly present the case before it is opened to the floor for discussion. Any relevant imaging and/or histology will need to be submitted well in advance of the meeting; authors will be informed of submission details once the abstracts have been selected.
The clinical case presentation should consist of a maximum of 5 power point slides and last up to 3 minutes, giving as much time as possible for discussion from the floor.
The abstract should adopt a structured format:
• Title, clearly indicating the subject of the presentation, in Bold type
