Dear Colleagues,

The successful North Staffordshire radial course has been expanded into an introductory course followed by an advanced course later in the year. The introductory course, ‘Essentials of radial access’, is aimed primarily at SpRs and will be of benefit to those new to radial access as well as more experienced trainees who wish to learn more about the basics of radial angiography and interven-tion. The focus will be on practical information including “tips and tricks” from experienced radial operators. This will be backed up by detailed discussions around live cases with full audience participation in these discussions at all times.

Registration is free and numbers are limited. To book your place, please register on-line at www.radi.se/radialaccess or e-mail Denise Geary at denise.geary@radi.se.
