The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) organised a symposium on Infectious Diseases on Friday, February 24, 2012. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) telecasted this live via webstream. There was no fee for attendance at the SKMCH&RC venue. Over 50 participants attended the different sessions, which included GPs, Internists, infectious diseases specialists and fellows, microbiologists, nurses and trainees from different hospitals within and outside Lahore. The topics of lectures were very much relevant to global healthcare issues and well appreciated by the attendees. Delegates stressed the need to continue such activities on regular basis.


Message from Organisers:

Infectious diseases remain a major concern globally and locally. Antibiotic resistance and hospital acquired infection are clinical and political priorities at home and abroad, and patients with difficult and unusual infections continue to provide challenges to hospital physicians and general practitioners.

This symposium will consider all of these areas, with a range of expert speakers covering topics from viruses to protozoa, from Aberdeen to Kabul and beyond. The emphasis of the day is very much on clinical practice and the diverse range of topics is sure to offer something of relevance to all health care professionals.

The programme will be of particular interest to trainees and practising infection specialists, from both a clinical infectious diseases and a microbiological background, to acute and general physicians concerned to improve their own management of infections and to specialist nursing and other multidisciplinary practitioners with an interest in infection and its management.

51st St. Andrew’s Day Festival Symposium – December 1-2, 2011

10th Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Symposium – November 18-20, 2011

RCPE Symposium on Haematology – November 4,2011
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) organized a symposium on Haematology on Friday, November 4th, 2011. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) had this telecasted live. There was no fee for attendance at the SKMCH venue but pre-registration was required especially for outside participants

The event was wel-attended by over 50 attendees including GPs/Family practitioners, Medical residents, Oncology fellows, Medical Oncologists as well as Medical Specialists.

Message from Organizers:
Significant advances have occurred in all aspects of haematology in the last decade. These include a new era for oral anticoagulation therapy with the emergence of the first oral anticoagulants since warfarin over 50 years ago. These agents are likely to change the management of many patients at risk of thrombosis. Meanwhile, improved understanding of disease pathophysiology is being translated into novel targeted therapies for patients with haematological malignancies. These developments, however, occur on the background of an increasingly elderly population and incidence of haematological malignancies. All these exciting new agents are expensive and occur at a time of increasing demand and greater patient complexity.

This one day programme will review the challenges presented by the use of these novel therapeutic approaches and the changing patient demographics; both are likely to have a major impact in primary and secondary care. The emphasis of the day is to provide a frame of reference for the practical application of these new developments.
Presentations are from dynamic and engaging speakers, experts in their field. The programme will be of interest not only to trainees, specialist nurses, and haematologists but those working in primary and secondary care since these new developments are likely to have wide ranging impacts across many areas of patient care.

Message from the Organizers
