A huge congratulations to Professor Mary Sheppard @SheppardNoelle who has been awarded the The Mackenzie Medal. This medal is awarded by the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) to recognize individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to British cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. This is fantastic recognition of Professor Mary Sheppard's exceptional contribution to cardiac pathology. Her work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of sudden cardiac death in the young, and we are proud that so much of this vital research has been supported by the generosity and dedication of CRY families, whose fundraising has helped make these achievements possible.

Something is changing in PCI.

More complexity. More information. More pressure. And more need than ever to pause, question and think differently.

Expect live cases, hands-on learning, practical strategies and conversations designed to challenge how we plan, prepare and perform.

The future of PCI isn’t just about doing more. It’s about thinking differently.

Registration opens soon. Stay tuned.
