BT Murrayfield will host its largest ever medical conference and welcome medical delegates from across the world for The Association for The Study of Medical Education’s (ASME) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) on 15- 17 July 2015.
ASME’s ASM is a forum for all medical/healthcare educators and undergraduate, postgraduate students to get together and discuss innovations in medical and healthcare education. There will be a mix of workshops, award presentations and lectures from keynote speakers over the three days including:
Professor Steve Peters, consultant psychiatrist at the University of Sheffield, will discuss optimising the performance of the human mind.
Dr James Robson, chief medical officer and head of anti-doping at The Scottish Rugby Union, will present on scoring with education – reflective practice in international sports medicine.
Professor Wendy Reid, director of education and quality, at Health Education England, will discuss how medical education needs to adapt to changing population needs and technology advances across the UK.
Lynne Geary, director of sales and marketing at BT Murrayfield, said: “BT Murrayfield is delighted to welcome guests and delegates attending the ASME conference this July. This conference is one of the largest events to take place at BT Murrayfield this year and the largest medical conference we have ever hosted. The venue is ideal to host such a popular event due to its ideal central location, connectivity to local transport links and wide variety and sizes of its conference facilities.”
Nicky Pender, CEO of ASME, said: “ASME is proud to be organising the largest medical education conference BT Murrayfield has hosted. We look forward to welcoming more than 600 delegates to Edinburgh. The conference is a fantastic opportunity for those involved in medical/healthcare education and training to report and discuss topical medical themes and research with colleagues from the UK and abroad. We have a great number of speakers lined up over the three days who will no doubt leave delegates inspired and wanting to know even more about their respective subjects.”
