A few words about it…

HR2025 is about putting it all together. We’ve been talking about the venous side for a long time and it has been fantastic seeing how much it has taken off – at least in the #medtwitter #foamed community. There’s enough data out there to show a real clinical utility of consciously examining the venous compartment. This applies to any hospitalized patients, whether in the ED, the wards or the ICU, so that’s why this year, the H and the R will spend the first day together doing all things VExUS and venous congestion, along with the corresponding workshops, again so that participants can leave with some actionable knowledge and skills. Whether you’re a beginner at this or a seasoned veteran, there should be something to learn. On day two, we’ll divide, and the one and only Katie Wiskar will be putting something amazing for the H side (preliminary details soon!!!) while the R side will deep-dive bedside hemodynamics and our 4-interface model of shock management. Of course there will also be some pearls and late-breakers as this is still a year away and there will undoubtedly be some really interesting things cooked up by the crew by then! 

And as always, the ethos of H&R is about putting together physiological clinicians who love to both push the envelope and share their knowledge and experience. The energy that comes out of this is really quite unique, and the sheer number of successful collaborations that have stemmed from it since 2018 is really impressive. The unplanned, unscheduled small group discussions are the true gems of this conference… Many of the usual suspects will be there, and as always some new additions to the H&R family!

So the most important thing for you to do is to mark your calendars and make sure you don’t miss being a part of it! Bookmark this page as the registration link (november 1) will appear as well as developing programme information!
