This course aims to update GPs on the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. The course will use case studies to review the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) on patients in the United Kingdom and suggest evidence-based strategies to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk. New data will be discussed which is likely to increase the use of anticoagulation in patients with CVD and the course will also consider the assessment of the risks and benefits of treatment in patients who are elderly, frail or have multiple co-morbidities. The main references for the course will be the NICE guidelines on established cardiovascular diseases and risk factor management.

'Make friends of those who can see three behind three: 'the pain behind your smile; the love behind your anger and the reason behind your silence' The consultation lies at the very heart of a physician's professional life. Yet do we understand our role in it? What is the value of silence over the value of words? How much communicating is my body doing? from what 'space' am I speaking? Am I aware of whether I'm speaking from a place of anger or compassion? We will look at what mindful listening is, and seek to understand the difference between simply hearing something and listening to what lies 'behind'. We will use breakout room exercises to experience this for ourselves
