CVC Cardiovascular Clinics
Virtual Learning Portal.
Heart disease remains Australia’s biggest killer.
GPs are ideally placed to offer primary and secondary prevention to patients at risk of a cardiac event and to ensure the right patients are referred on to a cardiologist.
GPs need ongoing education and training to do that vital job well. Yet, many CME/CPD opportunities have been cancelled due to COVID-19.
That’s why CVClinics has created this online education portal.
As a GP committed to honing your cardiac skills, you can use this portal to:
– Register for upcoming webinars
– Watch past webinars
– Access CVClinic’s extensive range of educational material.
Ultimately, this portal exists to help you, help your patients.
