Synmed wish to thank the Faculty and Delegates of the Sandhill Scientific Clinical Training Seminar, which was held at the Thistle Westminster Hotel, London, on 20-21 October 2011. The Seminar was a great success and well attended by Clinicians throughout the U.K. and from Europe.
The objectives of the Seminar were to expand the attendee's understanding of the normal and abnormal diagnostic test. Reading and interpretation strategies utilizing lecture and review of actual tracings. Acid (pH) and impedance/pH procedures were discussed to develop an understanding of the clinical manifestations of the abnormalities of the oesophagus.
The case study process session aimed to help the attendee gain a better understanding of the care of the patient presenting with reflux type symptoms. Multiple case study examples were presented and discussed.
