"I had the pleasure of attending IEPC modules for VT ablation 2017-18. I was a junior consultant at this point and found the experience invaluable; not only did I meet and learn from world-leading ablators, but I had a chance to get to know colleagues across Europe in a similar situation to me. I still enjoy catching up with them in conferences. The IEPC experiences enhanced my ablation outcomes and increased my confidence. I would thoroughly recommend the IEPC courses to all senior fellows or junior consultants."
