RCPE Infectious Diseases Symposium - Live webstream 2013 to Pakistan

                    

 

Infectious Diseases Symposium                                                                          

RCPE Symposium Edinburgh

Date: Wednesday 29^th May 2013

Venue: Classroom A & B, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre Lahore

 

Dear All,

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) is organizing Infectious Diseases Symposium on Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) will have this telecasted live. There is no fee for attendance at the SKMCH venue but pre-registration is required especially for outside participants.

Message from the Organizers

Since the days of Hippocrates, physicians have been stimulated by the dual challenges of treating infections and controlling transmission. The symposium celebrates the dramatic progress in areas such as HIV and Hepatitis C treatment but also highlights the ever changing challenges of managing infections in a global community. Practical management dilemmas in patients with bacterial infections where first line treatment fails and the difficulties caring for a growing population of immunosuppressed oncology patients will also be addressed.  Speakers from Edinburgh will share important skills in managing an outbreak and lessons learned from their experience with Legionnaires' in 2012.

An update on immunisation will provide a UK perspective on protecting populations, with a final session reminding us of the many remaining challenges as people and bugs travel further and at greater speed.

This symposium will appeal to consultant physicians and physicians in training, including those who have diversified into medical or nursing roles within Infectious Diseases, Microbiology or Public Health.
