What attendees say about Academy events

Courses offered by EACTS Academy… are incredibly useful for enhancing our clinical practice and critical for our ongoing professional development. As a result of this training and through the support of the mentor-mentee relationship we were able to facilitate the safe and effective startup for a MICS programme in a busy university heart centre.
