SUMMARY:CX Symposium 2019
UID:1254
DESCRIPTION:The Charing Cross Symposium (CX) first took place in 1978 at Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith, London, and has gone on to become the longest running vascular and endovascular symposium in Europe as well as one of the largest such meetings in the world.\n\nLondon (UK) has been the host city of CX ever since. Until 1998, the symposium was held at Charing Cross Hospital, and between 1999 and 2012 at Imperial College. In 2013, it moved to Olympia London’s National Hall, and in 2014 to Olympia London’s Grand Hall.\n\nThe first CX had 100 attendees. In 2018, the Charing Cross Symposium – Controversies Update had more than 4,000 participants, from 86 countries, making it a leading global event.\n\nCX mission\nThe Charing Cross Symposium raises vascular and endovascular controversies so that a world-class faculty challenges the available evidence in order to reach a consensus after discussion with an expert audience. This forms a three-year cycle. Challenges will be discussed in 2019.\n\nCX programme and format\nAll Charing Cross Symposia are distinguished by a unique and logical programme, which focuses on identifying evidence for optimal vascular disease management from head to toe, catering for all vascular specialists.\n\nDebate and emphasis on interaction with an expert audience are key aspects of the CX’s style. Education, Innovation and Evidence are CX core values.\n\nShort presentations and time keeping are key characteristics of the CX sessions; these enable the right time for comments and questions by the audience.\n\nAt the sessions, there is a chairman who monitors time, encourages audience and speaker interaction and conducts the discussion; there is also a moderator who assists the chair with questions to and from the audience.\n\nWho should attend CX?\nVascular and endovascular surgeons\nInterventionalists\nCardiovascular specialists\nImaging diagnosticians\nNeurovascular interventional radiologists\nStroke neurologists\nVascular scientists and nurses\nPhysicians in training\n\n
