The opening plenary session addresses THE most significant issues in biomedical science.
It will provide a comprehensive perspective of the changes and challenges that will affect every single biomedical scientist for the foreseeable future. These impinge on our standards for healthcare delivery: from qualifications and training to regulation and the way our laboratories are accredited. If these are issues you care about this is a session you cannot afford to miss.
