Dear colleague,

I am writing to you directly to make sure you’re aware of the dates and the exciting programme for the BNS Autumn Meeting this year (Nov 26-27^th, London). The headlines can be found directly below this message.

We would very much like to include work from your research group on the programme, so please note that we are accepting abstracts until August 27^th (click HERE to submit)

As always, this two-day meeting represents extraordinary value for money, with registration free to members and only £15 for non-members. You can register HERE up until Nov 25^th.

There are a limited number of travel bursaries, up to the value of £250, to cover travel and accommodation. Priority will be given to early career researchers and those presenting their work. Please submit your application via the website by 17^th March.

Finally, we would be delighted if you could share this communication (and display the attached posters) for staff and students at your institutions. The committee is particularly keen to boost awareness of the BNS amongst early career clinicians and researchers, as we have several prizes and awards from which they can benefit.
