Three weeks to go to this Evidence and Policy Symposium organised by the healthy heart charity the Cardiovascular Research Trust in partnership with the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine, publisher of the Postgraduate Medical Journal and Health Policy and Technology.

Symposium Sessions include Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular health; the impact of voluntary and mandatory policy; cardiovascular risk in childhood;  cardiovascular effects of dietary bioactives; evidence on risks and benefits of new dietary approaches.

Attendance is limited to 90 delegates.
