Postgraduate Course in Heart Failure

With heart failure being the end-stage of most forms of heart disease, and consequently a major cause of morbidity and mortality, the development and management of heart failure needs to be appropriately addressed by novel training programmes. This allows medical doctors to develop a professional profile, being competent in all aspects of care for patients with acute and/or chronic heart failure.

The London Postgraduate Course in Heart Failure Management is a two-year programme consisting of 6 modules, each module with  a 3.5-day duration. The course includes a total of 160 hours of classroom time and 140 hours of self-study, and its successful completion leads to a Certificate in Heart Failure Management.
