Welcome

Once again it is planning for conference time!!! 

The WCET UK 2010 Conference will take place in Bournemouth at the Bournemouth International Centre from Monday 27th September until Wednesday 29th September 2010.

Bournemouth is an extremely popular centre for conferences as it has many first class hotels within walking distance of the conference centre, fine restaurants and a stunning 1920’s style Pavilion where the conference dinner will be held. The theme for this year’s event is Beach Party and we encourage you to join us dressed in summer evening wear. There is lively nightlife, and for those who wish a more relaxed atmosphere, seven miles of sandy beaches and beautiful gardens. Something for everyone!!!

The conference is entitled “Are U Ready?” and will offer an opportunity to share complex cases both physical and psychological. Keynote speakers will lead in topic areas such as:
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease
• Colorectal Cancer
• Advanced Practice
• Case Studies

Thank you to all who provided us with feedback from last year’s hugely successful conference, we will endeavour to provide you with the topics you requested in your evaluation forms and we are confident that this year’s venue will address your comments regarding facilities, catering and AV. Of course our event can only be as successful as you help us make it and we need ABSTRACTS for both posters and presentations!!! If you are considering presenting for the first time, please use this chance to be supported and to develop your presentation skills, we are a welcoming audience!!!  We would also like to remind you that we also have the support of the New Presenters Award sponsored by Coloplast; deadline for 2010 applications has now passed. We can only provide you with what you are willing to present.

I will be in touch again soon with more details regarding theme, content and deadline for abstracts. In the meantime please put these dates in your diary and I hope to see you there. We look forward to making it a fantastic conference for all!!!
