It’s a wrap! Well done, team! 👏🏻

The IJN CMR Course 2026: Level 1 Accreditation concluded on a meaningful note after three days of comprehensive learning, clinical discussions and practical case-based sessions in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR).

Day 3 focused on the role of CMR in pericardial disease, cardiac masses and tumours, congenital heart disease, aortic disease and valvular assessment, followed by closing remarks on SCMR and EACVI CMR Accreditation and further training pathways.

The programme ended with a certificate presentation ceremony, celebrating the participants’ commitment to advancing their knowledge and skills in cardiac MRI. The course was also complemented by a faculty dinner, providing an opportunity to connect with and express our appreciation to both local and international faculty for their valuable contributions.

Our sincerest appreciation goes to all faculty members, organising committee members, participants, endorsing bodies and education partners for making this course a great success.

Once again, congratulations to the team. Job well done! 👏🏻

CX in Action at IJN 💙

Enhancing customer experience (CX) through simple yet meaningful moments.

A simple idea brought to life — stretching and health promotion activities at our clinics, creating a more engaging and meaningful waiting experience for our patients.

This initiative has been warmly received, even inspiring a few viral reels! Perhaps it is a reflection of how sporting, enthusiastic, and positive IJN patients truly are. 💪

It has also become a golden opportunity to educate our patients on cardiovascular risk reduction while promoting IJN’s mobile app, IJNCare.

Strengthening Patient Support & Advocacy 💙

A heartfelt engagement today with the RakanIJN volunteer team, who have been faithfully supporting our patients since 1998.

Many of the RakanIJN volunteers are former patients themselves. Having undergone cardiac surgeries and procedures, they truly understand the fears, hopes, and emotions that our patients experience. Their presence in the wards brings comfort, encouragement, and strength to those on their healing journey.

Thank you, Datin Seri Raja Zuraida, Datin Norlia Shukri, and the entire RakanIJN team, for continuing to light up the hearts of our patients through your kindness, support, and selfless service. ✨
