Chris Subbe and WAPS are delighted to be hosting our next face-to-face only symposium – this time in fabulous North Wales after a six-year hiatus!

We will cover recent medical updates and reflect on the current clinical and non-clinical challenges we all face in healthcare. As always, we have a range of sessions and speakers and we especially welcome anyone in acute/general medicine to our event – delivered by our acute medicine multidisciplinary family in Wales and beyond!

Headache conference October 2024

Dr Mohamed Hassan and BASH have teamed up again to organise a one-day conference on the subject of headache which will take place in Cardiff on Friday 18th October 2024.

The previous meeting that they arranged on this subject in 2019 was very well attended with excellent speakers and lots of relevant learning points for acute physicians. The delegate fee last time was also brilliant value!

We’ll publish the booking details when we have them.
