Single Ventricle Heart Medical Symposium
September 30
As part of Little Hearts Matter 30th Anniversary the charity would like to invite medical teams to a Fontan Pathway focused Symposium.
Living the best life with a Single Ventricle Heart Circulation
Over the last 30 years there have been huge advancements in the treatment and outcomes for anyone with a single ventricle heart condition. With improvements in survival have come short- and longer-term challenges for children and adults living with a Fontan Circulation.
Our symposium aims is to bring UK congenital cardiac teams together to explore innovative treatments and care and to discuss and plan how to advance the management and support of Fontan pathway patients, with a focus on medical and lifestyle pathways beyond the Fontan operation.
Topics will include quality of life, transition, mental wellbeing, exercise, challenges in education and the workplace, sexual health, Fontan clinics, transplantation and palliative care.
The conference will be held on Monday 30th September 2024 at the Edgbaston Conference Centre in Birmingham.
Audience: Multidisciplinary medical professionals. Doctors, specialist and lead nurses, psychologists, dieticians, social workers, youth and adult support workers, network managers and service leads.
The faculty of Dr David Crossland, Dr Paul Clift, Professor Kerry Gaskin, Suzie Hutchinson and Lexie Katsaitis look forward to welcoming you to the event.
There are 5 free symposium places for each network, invitation emails have been sent to managers, nurses and medical network leads. To apply complete the application form with the details of five delegates you would like to represent your network.
