About the event

Event Overview.

CARES (Cardiac & Vascular Excellence Scientific Update) 2026 is a one-day cardiovascular symposium and workshop organised by Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital together with the Indonesian Heart Association (PERKI).

Each session closes with a panel discussion with the moderator and speakers. In the afternoon, five workshop classes run in parallel: Lipid Masterclass, Emergency ECG for GP, Basic WSD Workshop, PFO Associated Stroke, and Modern PCI (FFR and IVUS) for cathlab nurses only. The workshop class is chosen when buying the ticket, with 30 places per class.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Answers to the most common questions about CARES 2026.

How many SKP credits will I receive?

The CARES 2026 symposium and workshops are registered with the Ministry of Health under numbers 62390/F.V/REG-KT.03.02/2026 (symposium) and 62394/F.V/REG-KT.03.02/2026 (workshops). SKP values differ by profession and are set by the Indonesian Health Collegium; see the official target participants and SKP values on the Ministry of Health SIAKPEL portal. Participants need a Satu Sehat SDMK or Plataran Sehat account, and the name and details entered when buying the ticket must match that account for the SKP to be recorded.

How do I choose a workshop class?

You choose your workshop class when you buy a Symposium + Workshop ticket on TIX ID, not on the day of the event. There are five classes: Lipid Masterclass, Emergency ECG for GP, Basic WSD Workshop, PFO Associated Stroke, and Modern PCI (FFR and IVUS, for cathlab nurses only). The five classes run at the same time, so each participant joins one class. Each class holds 30 participants, and the class cannot be changed after payment.

Can tickets be refunded or transferred to someone else?

No. CARES 2026 tickets are issued in the buyer's name, cannot be transferred, and cannot be refunded once payment is complete, including if you are unable to attend. Please check your ticket category, package and workshop class, and personal details before paying.

What should I bring on the day?

Your e-ticket from your TIX ID account (showing it on your phone screen is enough) and an identity card. Staff will match the name on the e-ticket with your identity card.

Can I buy a ticket at the venue?

No. Tickets are sold online through TIX ID only, and sales close on 28 October 2026. The registration desk on the day only handles check-in for participants who already have an e-ticket.

When and how are certificates issued?

An electronic certificate is sent to the email address you registered on TIX ID within 14 days after the event. If it has not arrived, check your spam folder, then contact the event team.

How do I buy the 5-ticket group package?

The group package for general practitioners (5 tickets) is available on the same TIX ID page; choose the group package category when ordering. For larger purchases or institutional orders, contact the event team.
