Coronavirus (COVID-19) conference update from HEART UK
Important CANCELLATION news regards the HEART UK 34th Annual Medical & Scientific Conference 2020
It is with regret that due to COVID-19 and with the safety of its community in mind, HEART UK have decided to cancel their annual conference for July 2020 and registration is now closed.
Under these unique times it is difficult to know whether the situation will have eased by July, plus, HEART UK is equally aware that their core attendance are health care professionals and that your focus will be on patient care and supporting your colleagues at this time.
If you are a speaker, sponsor, have submitted an abstract, or have already registered to attend, you will have received an email directly informing you of this decision.
HEART UK will now be working towards its 2021 conference which will take place at University of Warwick from Wed 7 – Fri 9 July. Watch this space for updates on topics and speakers.
We look forward to welcoming you to Coventry in 2021.
Stay safe and well.
On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee for HEART UK
