We are asking for expressions of interest to organise the next BSHI conference in 2023!!!
If the conference venue at the Park Regis Hotel is a success we may consider using the same venue for 2023. This has many advantages as we will know how it works for the conference and the Trade Show – all we then need is an organising committee!!!
One option to consider is another laboratory collaborative to help organise the event. As you know this year the London labs have got together to help organise the conference and it has meant the pressures of planning a conference are shared across a number of labs. We’ve had all our organising meetings via Teams and Gemma from EBS does a lot of the hard work regarding conference organisation – what we need is input to develop the scientific programme. We are acutely aware of the pressures we’re all under at the moment so please consider, if you’d like to be involved in organising the next conference, maybe getting together with another lab or two.
It would be great if we could have an idea of plans for BSHI 2023 to let people know at the conference this year.
If you would like to get involved in BSHI 2023 please contact Deb Sage (BSHI Chair) deborah.sage@nhsbt.nhs.uk and Helena Lee (BSHI Meetings Secretary) Helena.Lee@mft.nhs.uk
