About the AICC Conference

​

The world of Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions is changing rapidly. Over two days a faculty of experts leads delegates through a series of lectures, case-based discussions and interactive Q&A sessions. ​​

​

This year's conference took place at St Catharine's College, Cambridge over two dates, Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th November 2024, with a dinner networking event on the Monday evening. Our venue for 2025 will be announced soon. 

​​​

As many UK medical trainees and allied health professionals find it difficult to access training in ICC and may feel ill-equipped at times to deal with these patients, the 2024 AICC National Conference focused on key practical areas in ICCs and genomics with practical tips on delivering optimal care and provide an update on latest guidelines and emerging evidence relevant to practicing clinicians and allied professionals to meet cardiology, clinical genetics and general medicine curriculum. Both days also addressed the competency framework for nurses and genetic counsellors. The conference is an in-person event and is designed to be interactive and to enable networking. 

​

For those who are unable to attend in person there was also the opportunity to purchase live streaming / virtual tickets. ​​​​​
