Who should attend?

Scientists, clinicians, researchers, laboratory staff

“The BSHT ASM is a particularly unique meeting that unites both clinicians and scientists in the field of H&T throughout the United Kingdom. 2023 was my second BSHT ASM and provided yet another excellent opportunity for networking in an exceptionally welcoming field more so than that of larger international meetings. Particularly for clinicians it provides a rare but important insight into the basic science and translational research that underpins our practice which I have especially found  invaluable. “
