Dr Melanie Nana has let us know that she’s organising a one-day obstetric medicine course at the Vale Resort on Monday 30th September 2024. Obstetric medicine is always a highly popular topic at acute medicine conferences so it’s great to have an opportunity to learn about it in Wales!
Further details and registration are here.
We now have further details on the headache conference that Dr Mohamed Hasan is organising at the Marriott Hotel in Cardiff on Friday 18th October 2024.

We’re excited to announce that our summer symposium this year will be on the theme of “NICE and challenging: acute care in 2024 and beyond”, taking place in Bodelwyddan, North Wales.

Mohamed Hassan (an acute physician from Prince Charles, Merthyr) is organising a conference on headaches in Cardiff on Friday 18th October. Headaches are his special interest and regardless of whether they might interest you personally or not, they’re certainly a common and important problem that we see a lot of in acute medicine!
