We can announce that our Keynote speaker will be Dr Stefan Siebert, Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of Glasgow.

Our Local Expertise speakers will be Dr James Miller, Consultant Neurologist at the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Dr Ann Morgan, Professor of Molecular Rheumatology and Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist, Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine.

The format this year will follow the restructured programme that we adopted last year (Agenda 2017).  There will be concurrent scientific and clinical case abstract sessions in the morning followed by a joint translational science abstract session and further scientific and clinical abstracts in the afternoon including sharing good practice and governance issues.   As usual the AHPs will have their own agenda for the morning sessions but will join us again after lunch.
