BPSU 2009 Conference

3rd March 2009
Institute of British Architects, London

March will see the BPSU holds its 6th scientific conference. The meeting aims to highlights activities over the past five years.

The conference will provide an opportunity for college members, International Network of Paediatric Surveillance Units members, representatives from other national surveillance units and patient support groups to come together to listen and discuss with our presenters the projects that they have been involved.

We have put together a programme that reviews the contribution the BPSU has made to the understanding and control of uncommon childhood conditions, it’s impact on public health policy and it’s development of partnerships.

Speakers include Dr Allan Johnson (MRSA); Dr Hermione Lyall (HIV/AIDS); Dr Richard Reading & Dr Pat Tookey (herpes); Dr Delane Shingadia (emerging infections); Dr Claire Cameron (varicella infection); Dr Donal Manning (neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia); Dr Andrew McNinch (vitamin K deficiency bleeding); Dr Marian Knight (feto-maternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia) and Dr Dasha Nicholls (early onset eating disorders).

We were also delighted to have Dr Sheila Shribman attending in her capacity as National Clinical Director for Children, speaking on Child Health Policy in England and devolved UK countries.
