The Rouleaux Club, in association with Charing Cross International Symposium 2023 and BIBA Medical Ltd, are holding a competition to create an infographic and/or infomercial intended to educate members of the public in Chronic Limb Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI) in a competition entitled “The Hurting Leg”. The competition will hopefully “encourage patients to present early to their GPs with their hurting legs”.
Infographics and short Infomercial videos are invited from all students and trainees involved in caring for Vascular patients including but not limited to trainee members of the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland, British Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in limb Absence Rehabilitation, the Society of Vascular Nurses and Society for Vascular Technology of Great Britain and Ireland and international equivalents.
Orchestrated by the Rouleaux Club, there will be a prize for the best infomercial as well as the best info-graphic presented at CX 2023. The top 5 applicants in each category will receive free entry to the symposium as well as the opportunity to present their work to their peers.
The monetary prizes will be open to all medical students and doctors up to but not including consultants and the final date to submit will be 28 March 2023.
