Scottish Society for Rheumatology Spring Hybrid Meeting

Horizontal

Overview

The SSR Spring meeting will be a hybrid meeting with all presentations available online.

There will be two face-to-face ‘live’ venues at the Beardmore Centre, Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Clydebank, Glasgow and the Suttie Centre, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. A light lunch will be provided.

It promises to be an excellent meeting with a stellar array of Scottish, UK and international speakers!

We strongly advise you to book early if you wish to attend one of the live venues as numbers are strictly limited.

We look forward to meeting up as a national society for the first time for a long time and hope that you will be able to join us.

Registration for members and non-members is free.
