Dear Colleagues,<br />
Welcome to the Fourth VERVE Symposium.<br />
The VERVE symposium in conjunction with LINC Australia is<br />
committed to vascular education of the highest standard. Last<br />
December we witnessed the third VERVE continue what has<br />
become a dynamic era in Australasian vascular education. We<br />
saw a number of global experts come together in Sydney to<br />
share their tremendous knowledge and expertise.<br />
There was world-class discussion inspired by live cases over<br />
two and a half exciting days. These cases were interspersed<br />
by short, sharp, practical talks designed to provide further<br />
detail and underscore the best practice being demonstrated.<br />
The symposium proved to be a most rewarding experience for<br />
all of those in attendance and this year we promise to make it<br />
even better.<br />
Our friends from Leipzig will return to underline our strong<br />
collaborative partnership and ensure that the LINC philosophy<br />
is brought to our shores with seamless professionalism.<br />
Here at VERVE we are passionate about providing a unique<br />
vascular educational event for our region. Our course is<br />
designed to appeal to all of those involved in the delivery of<br />
advanced vascular care, those who wish to be exposed to<br />
best-vascular-practice and to observe first-hand, the world’s<br />
leading interventionists at work.<br />
Dierk and I would love to see you this December for the latest<br />
instalment of the high-definition VERVE Symposium. Please<br />
join us in Sydney.<br />
In 2016 there will be more live cases, new experts from<br />
around the world and an even broader program to<br />
encapsulate all aspects of vascular disease. There will be<br />
a new concurrent venous and dialysis access program<br />
which will accommodate the interest of the vascular<br />
community in these rapidly evolving fields and on its<br />
25-year anniversary we will incorporate a special focus<br />
on “EVAR-Past, Present and Future”.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ramon Varcoe, Course Co-Director<br />
