At the Limits Educational Meetings

For the past 15 years, The Hatter Institutes of University College London (UCL) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) have held an annual meeting entitled Cardiology and Diabetes at the Limits as part of their joint initiative.

The Cardiology and Diabetes at the Limits meetings, held at the Medical School of the University of Cape Town, are the vehicle whereby knowledge is exchanged and debated around an exciting programme focused on the issues challenging cardiologists today. They are opened on an annual basis by the President and Provost of UCL and the Vice Chancellor of UCT.Over 350 leading clinicians from the UK, South Africa and more than 25 other countries around the world attend this meeting each year. This meeting programme is endorsed by the British Cardiovascular Society, the South African Heart Association and The Lancet.

The meetings have become so popular that other pathologies are now asked to take part and the series of meetings is expanding to include "Nephrology at the Limits" and "Oncology at the Limits".

Partnership

We have now formed a partnership with The Lancet in that all our "at the limits" meetings will be video taped for access on the Lancet's website. This unique venture has been endorsed by the President and Provost of UCL, Professor Michael Arthur and the Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Town, Dr Max Price.
