BCIS Intracoronary Imaging Course

Wednesday 30th September | Education and Research Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester

Overview

Building on the success of the Practical IVUS and OCT Course over the past 18 years, this well-established educational programme has now been adopted by BCIS and will continue under its new name: the BCIS Intracoronary Imaging Course.

The course is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge, practical understanding and image interpretation skills required to confidently integrate IVUS and OCT into modern cath lab practice.

TOPICS

Developed for interventional cardiology consultants, specialty registrars, fellows and allied cath lab professionals, the programme will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including:

  • IVUS and OCT case and pathology review with image atlas
  • An emphasis on small group, hands-on training with consoles and recorded cases
  • IVUS and OCT technology, lesion assessment and image interpretation
  • Step-by-step approach to intra-coronary imaging in planning and optimising stent deployment
  • Intra-coronary imaging in stent failure

We recommend this course as useful revision to anyone planning on taking the second BCIS ICI exam, planned for later this year.

BCIS Research Symposium

BCIS Research Symposium

Thursday 3 December 2026 | One-Day | In-Person | Royal College of Physicians, London

Despite major advances in pharmacotherapy, device technology and management strategies, cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of death and morbidity around the world. Research is the key to improving outcomes for those affected.

The UK has consistently delivered groundbreaking cardiovascular research and the BCIS community has been at the forefront of this for several decades. The research showcased at the 2026 BCIS Young Investigator Award was outstanding (and easily as good an any line up at international YIA competitions in recent years). In the year since the meeting in Leeds, the quality and impact of multientre trials reported by BCIS members has also been staggering. Yet there is a lot to be learned, from new research methodology to working more cohesively with funding bodies, patients and industry collaborators.

The theme this year is to Showcase and Inspire and we have prepared (possibly) the best programme yet!
