I will be heading to Kota Kinabalu for the 2025 Sabah Transoesophageal Echocardiography Workshop this month.

This interactive workshop, organized at the Level 5, Cardiology Clinic, Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, is a fantastic opportunity for practical, hands-on learning with simulators and live patients.

I'm honored to be sharing insights on the second day (Saturday, 22 November 2025). I will be covering:

• 3D TOE - tips and tricks (13:00-13:40)
• Getting the Best out of 3D TOE: A Button-by-Button Guide (13:40-14:30)

I look forward to meeting fellow cardiologists and imaging experts, sharing knowledge, and maximizing our learning experience in the fascinating field of Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TOE). 🙏

See you there! 👋
