Behçet’s UK 2021 Conference & AGM

Held: Saturday 16 October 2021
Online Webinar

As a result of the continued uncertainty due to COVID-19, the board of trustees felt it was appropriate to host the Conference and AGM online again for 2021, but hope to return to hosting an in-person conference in 2022.

The event was again run by the experts at 1 Wimpole Street who manage the Royal Society of Medicine conferences who ensured the day ran smoothly.
