Hands on Cardiac morphology

Overview

Would you like to know how to analyse congenital defects in a logical and stepwise manner?

This 3-day course is suitable for all those wishing to improve their knowledge of structural heart disease (congenital heart malformations) from fetal life to adulthood. Information will be built up from analysis of normal anatomy & simple defects to more complex morphology and is suitable for a wide range of disciplines.

Those with limited background knowledge may find it useful to visit our website and preview the hands-on course material (see FAQs below)

20% discount of Standard ticket price for UCL or GOSH employees. 

Aims and objectives
The aim of this 3-day course is to allow for didactic teaching followed by small group, object-based learning and discussion about a wide range of structural heart lesions.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, participants should be comfortable with the anatomy of major groups of congenital heart malformation and be able to analyse hearts in a sequential segmental fashion.
