We are delighted to announce this year’s PCRMM conference which will take place on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th November.
This year, we will be holding it as a hybrid conference and are very excited about being able to hold a live event again, meeting some of you and getting really involved! The live, in person event will be held in York but there is the option of course, of attending online.
As ever, we have been working extremely hard to make sure we will deliver a valuable, engaging event. The timetable is shown below. This includes some really interesting and compelling talks and presentations, all of which will include Q&A sessions.
We have been discussing topics with speakers and they will be giving talks on subjects such as arthritis associated with haemochromatosis, the impact of musculoskeletal conditions on other illnesses, joint injections, chronic pain, inflammatory arthritis and delayed diagnosis of axial SpA: the crucial role of primary care, amongst others!
The success of our past conferences motivates us to try and improve each year and offer more of what will educate, stimulate and benefit you all. Our theme this year covers those aims and we have listened to feedback to offer what we are sure will be of interest.
The conference recordings will be freely available to those who registered to attend the live event, for 3 months after the conference has taken place.
We will make the recorded material from the conference available for 3 months after the live event for those who are unable to attend.
