Paediatrics: Primary care and emergency medicine
Last few residential places remaining
"Very impressive event. Professional and well delivered."
Over the last two decades, this specialist residential conference has grown from strength to strength and for 2023, we are delighted to be heading down to the newly refurbished Hilton Brighton Metropole, for our 21st residential event!
Medical consultants, expert witnesses, and leading practitioners will come together for another packed programme, providing valuable specialist insight into clinical negligence cases and concentrating on the theme of 'Paediatrics: Primary care and emergency medicine'.
You can choose to either attend the event in person, or alternatively, you can view the conference from the comfort of your own home or workspace via Zoom, on APIL’s slick Conference App.
Places are selling fast and bedrooms are already limited, so if you would like to attend, we would urge you to book now, to avoid disappointment.
