“I’m really looking forward to BSEcho 2025 – it’s always the highlight of the echocardiography year. The programme never fails to inspire, combining world-class science with practical, hands-on learning, and this year promises to be no different. BSEcho 2025 will land in Bournemouth, the Hawaii of the UK. There may be limited ocean waves on offer, but with all the bonus face-to-face events, you’ll be buzzing on soundwaves!

I’m particularly excited to be co-chairing the workshop ‘From button pushers to critical thinkers: simple steps that will revolutionise your echo training’ alongside Dr Emma Rees.”

I’m looking forward to the face-to-face small group learning sessions, a golden opportunity for knowledge consolidation - there are a lot to choose from, and they give us the chance to ask the questions we want answered: this is world-class learning - don't miss out!” -
