Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College, Royal Brompton and Harefield, and St George’s colleagues announce the launch of Partnership education programme in cardiac surgery, their new weekly, consultant led, virtual teaching sessions, from Monday, 12 July.

Held on Microsoft Teams, these one-hour (8-9am) sessions are open to cardiothoracic trainees of all levels, and focus on the technical aspect of cardiac surgery operations (“How do I…“). Sessions will pose discussion and debate on controversial topics, as well as updates on conferences, events, and highlights.
