A joint WIC and WICTS conference to support networking and morale for women practicing in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery.
Includes discussions on public speaking, returning to work, working when pregnant and clinical excellence awards.
This joint British Cardiovascular Society, British Cardio-Oncology Society, University College London Hospitals Cancer Academy course will give the attendee an update in contemporary cardio-oncology practice and will cover recent updates in cardio-oncology. The potentially long-lasting transformation of cardio-oncology, haemato-oncology and oncology services due to COVID-19 will also be explored as will the pivotal roles of the CNS and specialist pharmacist in a cardio-oncology service.
The National Cardiac Surgery Clinical Trials Initiative would love to know your thoughts on a study to determine the impact of using multiple arterial blood vessels compared to single vessels in women undergoing bypass surgery.
To mark their 25th Anniversary, BSH have updated their programme to better reflect how we talk about heart failure, both from a clinical and non-clinical perspective. For the first time, the programme will feature 3 parallel streams across the 2 days, focusing on important themes such as: Collaborative Working; Digital Health and Challenges of an Ageing Population. They’ll also hear from people living with heart failure and look forward to the future of heart failure treatment and therapies.
Over two days a faculty of experts will lead delegates through a series of lectures, case-based discussions and interactive Q&A sessions.
The course will give an up-to-date overview about current diagnosis and management of the most important cardiovascular conditions including the discussion of the recent ESC Guidelines.
The last few years have demonstrated the enormous power of data to advance medical knowledge and deliver radical improvements to people’s lives. Treatments, vaccines and life-saving policies have all been delivered in record time thanks to large-scale data, advanced analytics and innovative developments in data governance.
But these benefits must not be limited to COVID-19. They must extend to people living with other conditions such as mental illness, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. And they must be inclusive of and accessible to the entire global population.
Health Data Research UK’s annual scientific conference will be a free one-day, hybrid event to celebrate this progress and allow people to come together and continue to build momentum in the health data research revolution.
The culmination to the cardiovascular year will review the biggest and most relevant topics of the past 12 months. This course is a must-attend for consultants and cardiology trainees who wish to keep up to date on advances in cardiology. There will also be a live Q&A session posing questions to the expert panel.
The BHF has established a Healthcare Innovation Fund to support the testing and evaluation of innovative approaches to the delivery of improved services for patients with cardiovascular disease.
The fund will operate through Expressions of Interest (EoI) in the first instance. The proposals outlined in the EoIs can range in scale of maturity, from a problem statement that is yet to be defined through to ideas and solutions that are ready to be tested.
Round one will close at 9am on 5 December 2022. More information
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has now opened applications for Driver Projects to inform the design of cross-council trusted research environments (TREs) as part of the DARE UK (Data and Analytics Research Environments UK) programme. The aim of these short duration driver projects will be to take a leading role in informing the design of specific components of what will be a UK-wide, interoperable network of TREs for sensitive data research at scale for public good. Closing date: 14th December 2022
The NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) e-learning course in partnership with Imperial College London’s Institute of Global Health Innovation and the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare at Imperial College London, to build AI awareness and knowledge for professionals developing and delivering research.
The self-paced training course is designed for clinical researchers that could benefit from AI methods. Specific groups include research nurses, research managers, full-time researchers and clinicians.
The NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) is a clinical specialty training post in medicine that incorporates academic training. The post has a standard duration of 3 years (up to 4 years for GPs). As an NIHR ACF you will have access to Masters-level research training to develop academic skills and spend 25% of your time in research or educationalist training.
The 2023 ACFs are available from 07 October 2022, with award starting dates between 01 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.
The NIHR Research Professorships aim to fund research leaders of the future to promote effective translation of research and to strengthen health, public health and care research leadership at the highest academic levels.
The scheme is open to all professions and all Higher Education Institutions (HEI), NHS organisations, or other providers of health, public health and/or care services based in England, to nominate health, public health and social care researchers and methodologists with an outstanding research record of clinical and applied health research and its effective translation for improved health. The current round closes on the 1st of December 2022
The BHF CRC offer UK researchers the opportunity to consult with a leading CTU to address questions in, and refine the design of, research projects. Eligible projects must be towards the later stages of development (rather than conceptual) and be of sufficient scale or merit that they will attract the support of one of our established Research Groups. Smaller scale studies or those in early-stage development are not applicable for this initiative and should be directed towards the NIHR Research Design Service. Researchers can choose the CTU they would like to work with from the list of our partnered CTUs.
