Event: Posture & Mobility Group (PMG) Conference 2018 Dates: Monday 23rd – Wednesday 25th July 2018 Venue: Manchester Central
PMG's annual conference provides an educational programme, industry exhibition and networking events for professionals working in the field of posture and wheeled mobility.
This year, the programme includes a presentation from Reto Togni, the designer of the Reagiro manual wheelchair; Sara Dale from the Ace Centre will discuss integrating wheelchair controls for mobility, communication and computer access; and, Paul Dryer of King’s College Hospital’s Rehabilitation Engineering Division will chair a speed networking session about crash testing. We will also look into funding for wheelchairs, which will include a presentation by The Guardian’s Dr France Ryan about crowdfunding, as well as an update on NHS England’s Personal Wheelchair Budgets.
Prices start from £33 for access to the exhibition with lunch and refreshments, and we offer package options for those wanting to attend the whole event. We also offer a limited number of bursary places, predominantly aimed at first time attendees, newly qualified staff, those new to working in the field and final year students.

Building on the success of previous BIR IRMER updates, this event aims to provide an invaluable multi-disciplinary forum in which to hear about current practice and the directionof flow of IRMER. You will hear about the new working parties established to provide guidance on specific aspects of the new regulations – if you don’t know what they are – come along and find out! It provides the opportunity, in a single event, to consider the wide-sweep of IRMER from radiation safety culture to communicating with patients; and along the way hear about what happens when all the CQC inspectors converge on a single site. Come to this event to network with your colleagues in radiology, physics, and the various government bodies. Educational aims: To provide information on the changing shape of IRMER and how it is to be applied in practice; including an opportunity to discuss the wider sphere of influence and involvement of IRMER

The BIR/IDUG The future of molecular radiotherapy dosimetry 17th September 2018 in Oxford
Following two highly successful BIR/IDUG conferences in 2014 and 2016, this is an excellent opportunity to hear about the future of molecular radiotherapy dosimetry from an international faculty. There will be a poster session so that participants can present and discuss the work performed in other hospitals in addition to the talks. This conference would be useful for physicists, oncologists, radiologists, radiographers, and all people involved in molecular radiotherapy. The deadline for abstracts is 21 July. We are also offering 20% off this event until 31 July when using ‘SUMMER18’ at checkout.
This special event brings delegates the opportunity to attend two days of great lectures and speakers all focused around the success of satellites and remote working in radiotherapy. Delegates are given the choice to attend one day or both depending on their interests. We are also offering 20% off this event until 31 July when using ‘SUMMER18’ at checkout.
OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Canary Center at Stanford, and Cancer Research UK are pleased to present the Early Detection of Cancer Conference 2018. The annual Conference brings together experts in early detection from multiple disciplines to share ground breaking research and progress in the field.
The Conference is part of a long-term commitment to invest in early detection research, to understand the biology behind early stage cancers, find new detection and screening methods and enhance uptake and accuracy of screening.
In collaboration with the International Workshop in Lymphoma and Myeloma and supported by the French Radiological Society.
The BIR Annual Congress continues to grow. After a sell out exhibition in 2017, we are moving to a bigger venue - Etc. venues at St Paul’s - for 2018! We have also added a third stream of presentations, which will attract an even wider range of top health professionals and decision makers. Taking place over two days, the event provides excellent opportunities to meet delegates and network in an open and relaxed environment. There is also an informal evening event and networking drinks. This multidisciplinary event will appeal to anyone within radiology, radiation oncology and the underlying sciences, including radiologists, physicists, radiology managers, radiographers, oncologists, clinical scientists, physicians, radiation protection advisers and supervisors.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at the 18th Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) in conjunction with the 16th South-East Asia Congress of Medical Physics (SEACOMP), which will be held at Connexion Conference & Event Centre (CCEC), Nexus, Bangsar South City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 11 to 14 November 2018.
AOCMP and SEACOMP are both important annual events in medical physics in the region. The objective of the congress is to gather the medical physics and allied health professionals in the region for the sharing of knowledge, expertise, scientific discussions, cultural exchange and medical technologies updates. This is the second time Malaysia is given the honour to host this event after year 2004. The congress is expected to attract more than 400 participants from the professions of medical physics, biomedical engineering, radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, biophysics, radiobiology and the related fields.
The theme for this conference is “A Sustainable Future for Medical Physics”. We have put forward a comprehensive scientific programme including orations, talks by eminent speakers, oral paper presentations, poster presentations, lunch symposiums, panel discussions and some pre-congress workshops that cover most of the disciplines in medical physics, i.e. diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, radiation protection, radiobiology and new emerging techniques. We also look forward to promote collaboration between the various disciplines and our regional partners.
Towards Gender Equality in Physics 12th November, Wesley Euston Hotel London
The Women in Physics Group and the Medical Physics Group invite you to this meeting celebrating and reviewing progress towards gender equality in Medical Physics, identifying that it is one of the few areas of physics where gender parity is being approached. We will hear from female medical physicists in the NHS, academia and industry, before discussing what it is about medical physics that fosters greater gender equality and whether these features can be used to inform diversity strategies within other fields of physics and STEM more generally.
IPEM Members can register at the reduced member rate.
