Hello all
We, in the UKCPN, have been quiet during the pandemic, but I suspect we should re-activate some educational activity.
I hope we can re-start these posts posts and cases with interest.
So, I shall kick-off with this pretty device found in a heart at autopsy.
best wishes
Kim
Dear all
The Association of European Cardiovascular Pathologists is hosting a meeting in Cambridge in September. Having been a member of this group for many years I can thoroughly recommend the meeting. This specialist meeting will be hybrid in format…. part on line/in person.
The UKCPN will hopefully host some sessions. The meeting is recommended for those missing a cardiac meeting this year.
kind regards
Kim
So, after a long break we are looking to conduct this year’s EQA run. There are two levels of engagement; with those acting as cardiac reviewers being scored with feedback. Those who wish to just do the assessment for educational purposes will be able to see the slide material and do their own scoring.
If you have previously been involved then you should get the notification as standard. If you wish to see the slide material and have not previously been involved then please await the post shortly announcing the website link.
best wishes

hello all
I have had several enquiries about whether the meeting is happening tomorrow. at present the answer is YES.
UK schools, libraries, transport system, colleges and so on are still open.
so, the meeting is still due to take place, unless the health authorities or government instruct this not to occur.
however, I am aware that some countries are restricting air/other travel
if you decide not to attend, please email me (s.k.suvarna@shef.ac.uk) to let me know, so I may adjust catering.
kind regards

hello to everyone
this year we are doing mostly macro image EQA
much of cardiac pathology is macroscopic interpretations nd some histology
please see the pdf attached and then answer the questions on the separate sheet
please send forms back to me if you need certificates, but this comes with fee (payable to UK Cardiac Pathology Network or cash on day)
…. no fee for trainees or those just wanting education, but no certificate
if you need just to review the results then await the meeting or web update after the meeting
I hope you find the EQA interesting and fun
