Sir Bruce Keogh in a series of excellent lectures told of the history and progress of quality assurance and clinical governance, not as it affects cardiac surgeons in the UK, but also all health care practitioners. He detailed the events leading up to individual surgeon data being published.
In a fascinating talk, Dr Ratnesh Lal provided an overview of nano technology. His insights into how this technology will apply to cardiac surgery gave a fascinating glimpse into the future.
Bill Brawn talked of outcomes in complex paediatric cardiac surgery, in particular the progress in the management of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
