Wednesday, 16th May 2018 Our ref: GG/HB Dear IRSA members APSCVIR Personal membership Following the successful APSCVIR meeting in Auckland earlier this year, the IRSA Executive have asked me to forward the following details regarding personal APSCVIR membership. APSCVIR as you know is the regional Asia-Pacific society with 16 group members from the Pacific region, including IRSA. The objectives of APSCVIR are: Meet regularly to encourage international exchange of knowledge vital to cardiovascular and interventional radiology among radiologists, interventional radiologists and individuals in related fields in different countries of the Asia Pacific region. Bring together radiologists, interventional radiologists and individuals in related fields to improve the level of clinical practice and research regarding cardiovascular and interventional radiology in the Asia region. Support continuing education and training of doctors in each country through appropriate forums or refresher courses to further define the role of cardiovascular and interventional radiology as a subspecialty of medicine in the Asia Pacific region. The APSCVIR annual scientific meeting held in Auckland this year was hosted by IRSA, with Professor Andrew Holden and his team the local organising committee. Professor Andrew Holden is the current president of APSCVIR and IRSA has 2 executive committee representatives, Dr Steve Merrilees and Dr Gerard Goh. The APSCVIR annual scientific meeting is held every year, and will take place next year in Bali from the 21st - 24th Feb 2019. APSCVIR also runs an annual outreach programme where IRs travel to a country where IR is a developing field, and help train local IRs in modern techniques and practices.
