About this Webinar
St George’s is home to one of the largest cardiac centres in the South East of England.
This evening’s ACTACC webinar, brings together experts from across St George's to share updates, innovations, and practical insights that are shaping modern practice. Over the next two hours, we will explore the full perioperative journey—from preoperative assessment and ERAS pathways to cutting-edge hybrid AF management, life-saving chest wall stabilisation techniques, and the evolving role of cardiothoracic medicine. Our faculty will also highlight advances in thoracic procedures such as the Nuss procedure, discuss regional anaesthesia strategies for sternotomy, and present St George's own experience implementing ERAS in cardiac surgery.
We hope this session will stimulate learning, collaboration, and meaningful discussion that enhances the care we deliver to our patients every day.
