Pulse Virtual September 2024 | Virtual event for GPs covering Respiratory, CVD, Diabetes and Nutrition

The next Pulse 365 Virtual event has been announced – join us this Autumn for a two day online event that will update you on the latest guidance on multiple clinical topics including respiratory, cvd, diabetes and nutrition.

This virtual event for GPs will take place 17-18 September and is free to attend for all UK-based GPs and GP Trainees. If you’re looking for an easy way to improve your skills and widen your knowledge, this is the event for you.

Our agendas are developed after research with your peers as well as experts in healthcare, therefore you can trust the quality of the talks on offer. Supported by Pulse, this free respiratory, cvd, diabetes and nutrition event for GPs is a great opportunity to continue your professional development.

This event will cover topics* including:

  • The wheezing child

  • ECG recording and interpreting
  • Nutritional guidelines

GPs and GP Trainees are welcome to join at any point throughout the two days – fitting in their learning accordingly around clinics and other obligations. We will be recording a selection of talks during the event which will then be made available through our On-Demand service, thereby providing ample opportunity for further study.
