Our popular series of returns to its usual cycle with "Pulmonology, Rheumatology and Metabolic Medicine" and will be of interest to specialty trainees as well as any other doctor! We have a varied selection of new and interesting topics which will undoubtedly be of interest and provide material for thought and knowledge when dealing with patients at the front door or on the wards! Register early to avoid disappointment. As usual, the meeting will be accredited for RCP CPD points.


PLEASE REGISTER EARLY to avoid disappointment! Our Early Bird offers expire 24th November 2019 (this is to ensure all bookings and admin is sorted ahead of the meeting). Bookings close 27th November at midday.

Dinner, provided at a very low and discounted cost, provides the perfect opportunity to mingle with peers and consultants and senior academics in a relaxed environment.
