The Limb On The Line Competition

Following the success of The Footprints Challenge at CX 2026, the Rouleaux Club is delighted to once again partner with the Charing Cross International Symposium and BIBA Medical Ltd for our 2027 trainee competition.

We are looking for engaging infographics and/or short infomercial videos designed to educate healthcare professionals and members of the public about acute limb ischaemia (ALI), its warning signs, and its time-critical nature.

When a limb is on the line, time matters.

Entries are invited from students and trainees involved in caring for vascular patients, including but not limited to trainee members of international vascular societies, physiotherapists, vascular nurses, podiatrists and vascular technologists.
