BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-/-/EN BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Varicose vein treatments in 2020: Reconciling patient and practitioner priorities UID:2455 DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Sclerotherapists (BAS) announces a series of ‘bite-sized’ CPD webinars for sclerotherapy practitioners, beginning in October. Catering for various skill levels, each one-hour interactive webinar will explore an aspect of the art and science of treating varicose and spider veins.\n\n8th October 18:30: Varicose vein treatments in 2020: Reconciling patient and practitioner priorities\n\nProf Bruce Campbell, Mr Manjit Gohel and Mr Philip Coleridge Smith debate the merits and downsides of the many treatment modalities currently available for varicose veins and saphenous reflux, and consider how to reconcile patient concerns, financial considerations, and how to achieve the best possible clinical and cosmetic outcomes.\n\n“We are excited to be moving our CPD events virtual for the time being,” says BAS Operations Manager, Hilary Furber. “The annual BAS conference each May has become the go-to CPD event for sclerotherapy practitioners, and this programme aims to fill the gap left by its enforced cancellation. A highly interactive format will blend live presentations, panel debates, video demonstrations and real time exchanges through chats and polls, allowing participants to question or challenge expert speakers and contribute their own views. Registering separately for each webinar means participants can pick and choose only those most relevant to their own practices.”\n\nThe webinars are aimed at those already practising foam or microsclerotherapy - phlebologists, vascular surgeons and nurses, aesthetic practitioners and dermatologists. 1 CPD point will be awarded for each webinar.\n\nThe non-profit British Association of Sclerotherapists is the only UK organisation dedicated to promoting sclerotherapy best practice and education. Sclerotherapy is considered by many to be the gold standard treatment for unsightly varicose and spider veins.\n\n Visit BAS website bassclerotherapy.com for further details.\n\n \n\n DTSTART:20201008T155800Z DTEND:20201008T155800Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
