Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

The next course will run in May 2025, it will be in London. 

The course covers the basic principles of CMR, its clinical indications and role in a multi-modality imaging environment. Delegates will learn in lectures and interactive sessions, at the end of the course they will have a solid understanding of when to refer a patient for Cardiovascular MRI and how to interpret CMR images and reporting. This established 3-day course has been running for 15 years at King's, with an exceptional faculty of internationally renowned experts in the field of cardiac MRI.

This course has been previously been approved by the Royal College of Physicians for 18 CPD points and approved for SCMR level 1 certification. We have submitted an application for the May 2025 course.
