Don't Miss The Celebrations
We are delighted to launch this new website with information on the 2010 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM).
We are delighted to be hosting the Conference in Edinburgh from Sunday 6th to Wednesday 9th June 2010.
This ASM promises to be a cutting-edge conference, incorporating special celebrations to mark the landmark 75th anniversary of the SOM.
The programme is available on this site for you to see the excellent educational programme (pdf), hour by hour over the days of the Conference, as well as the top-quality speakers that have been secured. The Call for Abstracts is also now open and we encourage all colleagues to submit material for presentation. Full guidelines are given on this site.
We have also organised some excellent social events, including an exclusive evening at Edinburgh Castle on 6th June, which is not to be missed! The Conference Ball on 8th June also promises to be very special evening and a discount on the hire of highland dress has been secured for you to really get into the spirit of a celebratory evening in Scotland’s capital.
Our on-line booking system is now open, so you can now book your place on the Conference, your accommodation and your social events tickets, as well as a workplace visit. Note that an Early Registration Fee structure is in place, so book early and save!
We hope that you enjoy looking at the information on SOM ASM 2010 and we very much hope to welcome you to Edinburgh next June.
Please do contact our Secretariat if you have any queries. They will be happy to help.
Alastair Leckie
Conference Chair
This Conference is for all:
- Consultants
- GPs
- Those in training
- Nurses and other professionals working on occupational health
Exhibition
An exhibition of occupational health equipment and services is organised in association with the Conference and further information can be obtained here and the Booking Form is here.
The Exhibition area will include the catering points, so Exhibitors will have the opportunity for good contact with participants. This year, interest from companies and organisations is high, so we urge you to book early to obtain your preferred location of stand?.
Delegate Bags
This Conference is keen to reduce its carbon footprint, not least through cutting down on wastage.
We are aware that these days many delegates do not need or wish to have a delegate bag (which becomes “another spare bag”), so we are asking delegates to book their bag when they register.
Our aim is to give a donation to a suitable environmental charity in lieu of producing bags for all delegates, depending upon the response.
The delegate bag inserts will be available to all delegates during the Conference, whether or not they have booked a bag.
