Join this new free 5-part series of clinical masterclass sessions, in association with Cleveland Clinic London.

Our final episode in the series will be split into two parts, covering the epidemiology, diagnosis and imaging Assessment in part one and intervention – who, when and how in part two of the masterclass. Chaired by both Professor Bernard Prendergast, Consultant Cardiologist and Mr Gianluca Lucchese, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon the masterclass will be discussing the scale of the problem, indicators for intervention and finally the aortic valve. 

Guests who join in person at the Royal Society of Medicine will have access to a complimentary drinks reception and the chance to join an optional dinner to network with fellow attendees and well-renowned speakers from the masterclass. The masterclass will be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.

Professor Nik Patel, Chairman of the Academic Board, Consultant Cardiologist at Eastbourne and Conquest Hospitals, East Sussex will be opening the session.

The masterclass series will feature leading experts from the world of clinical excellence discussing the latest innovations and developments across five clinical areas:

CPD certificate with 2 CPD credits will be issued to those joining in-person, as well as those who watch the live stream or view the on-demand recording. Certificates will be issued 7 days after the event to those who watch it live and after 30 days for those that watch the recording.

Sam Dawkins

Dr Sam Dawkins

Consultant Cardiologist

Speaker's biography

Dr Sam Dawkins is a cardiologist who specialises in general cardiology, interventional cardiology and structural intervention, including mitral and tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER using Pascal, MitraClip and TriClip), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD), paravalvular leak closure and left atrial appendage occlusion. He offers a comprehensive service for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiac symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain and palpitations.

For patients who already have a diagnosis (for example severe aortic stenosis, mitral/tricuspid regurgitation, patent foramen ovale), he can review previous imaging and provide treatment advice. He carries out face-to-face, telephone and video consultations and is frequently asked to provide a second opinion in complex cases. Dr Dawkins trained in medicine at King’s College London, completed a DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford (Trinity College) and then spent two years working at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he trained in complex structural intervention, including TAVI, mitral/tricuspid TEER and complex coronary intervention. He has been an investigator for multiple trials of new medical devices, including first-in-man studies.

He is the clinical lead for structural intervention in Oxford, which is one of the largest structural programmes in the country. He has introduced several new technologies to the UK, including the first left atrial appendage occlusion procedure with the Watchman Flx device and the first tricuspid repair procedures with the Pascal and TriClip devices. He regularly lectures on these techniques in the UK and around the world.
