The programme is available below and it promises to be an excellent meeting with a stellar array of Scottish, UK and international speakers! The meeting will be a hybrid meeting with all presentations available online. There will be two face-to-face ‘live’ venues at the Beardmore Centre, Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Clydebank and the Suttie Centre, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
