We are living in unprecedented times, which inevitably lead to unprecedented circumstances and difficult decisions. It is with great regret that I have to announce that this year’s Annual Congress of The Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists will not be taking place in physical form. The decision has been taken by the executive committee after full discussion and careful consideration. We have a duty of care not only to you, our colleagues, but also to our patients. We feel that we cannot risk the possibility of causing an outbreak of Covid-19 within our professional group as this would not only endanger the health and welfare of us, but also potentially affect the capacity for cardiac surgery across Great Britain and Ireland.
We have moved the meeting online and are happy to invite you to our 2020 Webinar and AGM. We look forward to (virtually) seeing as many of you as possible over the 6th and 7th of November to enjoy a full academic programme and the Annual General Meetings of our Society and College.
Please follow the links to find out more and to register.
The call for abstracts has gone out and you can submit yours via the link shown below.
Thank you and ‘see’ you in November.
Registration is now open. This is available to Society members and non-members - See Events Page for updates.

The journal contains scientific articles, news and views pertaining to the Society and the College of Clinical Perfusion Scientists, correspondence from members and trade representatives, and a situations vacant section. It is a forum for discussion and debate and should be used by the readership as a conduit for communication with the many diverse strands of our organisation.
