Welcome to EuroPRevent 2012
EuroPRevent 2012
 Welcome to EuroPRevent 2012, the premier international forum for Preventive Cardiology! The congress will be hosted in Europe’s newest Convention Centre, beside the river in central Dublin.
Diseases of the heart and circulation are the biggest global causes of death and disability even though they are preventable. Building on the success of the 2011 meeting in Geneva, EuroPRevent 2012 promises to make the newest advances in preventive cardiology accessible to all.
Next year’s meeting will be unique. For the first time, the new 2012 European Guidelines on the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Clinical practice will be launched at EuroPRevent, together with dedicated educational and implementation programmes. This will widen the relevance of the meeting to include cardiologists, family doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and voluntary bodies such as Heart Foundations, as well as health planners, local and international politicians, Departments of Health and Health executives.
The theme follows the cycle of the scientific evidence base that increases knowledge and informs guidelines through the Guidelines themselves to implementation strategies and audit.
The meeting will encompass basic science, research methods, epidemiology (how studies of groups and populations can inform preventive strategies), rehabilitation, lifestyle, sports medicine, health policy, education and implementation strategies at individual, local, national and international level.
EuroPRevent 2012 will bring the finest international health experts together to present their research and translate it into usable knowledge for health care workers, researchers, planners and policy makers.
Join us in Dublin! Oh, and don’t forget that the Convention Centre is within walking distance of Trinity College, Dublin Castle, museums, art galleries, and other local attractions with the mountains and sea close by.
