Science Programmes

Lecture Programmes: Education, Training & Management

Congress's lecture programme offers the opportunity to hear about the latest professional developments, scientific techniques and technical innovations directly from the people making them.

All lectures are CPD-credited to enable delegates to demonstrate learning outcomes for Health Profession Council CPD requirements.
