Future Events
Beat SCAD hosts a Conference and Walk in alternate years and organises online events throughout the year. Our next Conference will be in 2025.
These events bring patients together to meet each other, hear from SCAD experts and have the opportunity to ask questions.
Please check back regularly for details of future events.
Videos
We record our events and publish them here and on Youtube and they are a brilliant resource for patients, families and friends and healthcare professionals, so do watch them. There are also some videos related to specific subjects, such as pregnancy-related SCAD. There are timestamps under the videos to make it easy to find information.
