Savings of up to 40 per cent on BPC 2005 fees

Early-bird savings of up to 40 per cent are available on the fees for next year’s British Pharmaceutical Conference, which takes place at the Manchester International Convention Centre from 26 to 28 September 2005.

The offer closes on 31 December. Until then, the full three-day conference fee for members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (and certain other organisations) and for presenters will be £385 plus VAT. The standard fee will be £495 plus VAT and the reduced fee for bona fide students will be £100 + VAT. The one-day fees are also reduced — to £135 plus VAT for members and presenters, £165 plus VAT for standard rate and £35 plus VAT for students.

The theme of the 2005 conference is to be “A common vision for health: linking science with practice”. The chairman of the BPC Conference Committee, Council member Gillian Hawksworth, says: “For delegates wanting to make significant savings on the registration fee for 2005 the message is book early. Planning for BPC 2005 is now well under way and there will be sessions and speakers to appeal to the broad spectrum of our profession. The importance of linking science with practice will form the foundation of next year’s conference and we very much hope to attract new delegates, especially those from the community sector.”

Early-bird bookings can be made online at the conference website, www.bpc2005.org which also sets out conference highlights and discusses the conference theme. Booking forms and information can also be obtained from Angela Lyons, Health Links, Windsor House, 11a High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7BB (tel 0121 248 3399; fax 0121 248 3390).
