Dear all
Remember that you can use the ‘search’ function in the ‘Abstracts’. Just click on ‘Abstracts’ and then you will see the ‘search’ field just under the blue line.
Now for example enter the word ‘Covid’ press ‘search’ and you will get all the abstracts relating to Covid. Give it a go.

Dear all
If you click on the link, or load that link, below you will load the summaries of the talks at the latest Practicum in Basel.
Alternatively go to the website and load them from there. (click on ‘Basel Practicum’ on the front page).
Perhaps you could show these summaries to your colleagues and they will have an idea what they could learn at a Practicum and want to attend.
If you have not been to a Practicum for a while you might find some of the topics interesting and you might like to attend the next one in the UK
at a venue and date to be finalised. You can meet old friends and make new ones.
Hope you are still receiving the regular abstracts. Let me know if you are not and I will reinstate you on our mailing list.
My best regards
Paul

Dear Colleagues,
Imagine three days in the heart of Europe—three days where the very architects of modern cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) “open their labs” and share their insights with you.
We are delighted to invite you to the 27th European Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing, taking place from 3–5 September 2025 in Basel, Switzerland—the only edition of this event in 2025.
This year’s practicum features a world-class faculty including:
Under the Swiss skyline, you will:
✔ Conduct live CPET sessions on cutting-edge metabolic/gas-exchange systems
✔ Decode complex data in real time with top-tier experts by your side
✔ Participate in small-group rotations for immersive, hands-on learning
✔ Submit your research for the Young Investigator Competition
✔ Enjoy Swiss precision and hospitality, including a networking dinner close to the river Rhein
If you’ve ever wanted to …
• train shoulder-to-shoulder with world-leading CPET experts,
• get hands-on with the newest metabolic cart technologies, and
• build collaborations that could redefine your clinical or research path –
… now is the time.
🕓 Important: Seats are limited and registration closes on 15 August 2025.

There is an international study being performed to establish which patients are best investigated via CPET preoperatively. It is called DELPHI and involves international experts in our field.
