Journal Watch
The WUPCHS Journal Watch aims to provide subscribers with pertinent literature in the field of congenital heart disease. Contributions are provided by leading international experts in selecting recently published articles, in peer reviewed journals, focusing on science and clinical practice of congenital heart disease.
Surveys
Our current survey focuses on the impact the pandemic has had to the longer term health of our congenital heart programs as well as to gauge the success and failures of the particular strategies that were employed during the initial wave of the virus. We believe that obtaining this information from centers, which are on different points along the curve of the advancing infection, will provide greater insights on what to expect as additional waves of the infection evolves. Ongoing surveys are created to ensure we are in touch with your needs.
News
The World Society continues to expand its educational activities despite the severe restriction to travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This continues to be possible only through the support and engagement of its members. We encourage all of you to follow the health guidelines in your communities!
Look for a new section in which we highlight recent papers in the field, under Journal Watch. We will also be compiling library and society news.
