Find out about Glasgow’s gruesome medical past during the interactive virtual BNMS meeting

The British Nuclear Medicine Society annual virtual meeting is to be held on September 27-29.

This is three days of virtual meeting with two to three streams of lectures involving multiple subjects for all of the craft groups working in nuclear medicine within the UK and across the world.

Speakers from Los Angeles, Pretoria, Skopje, Vienna, New York, Porto, Milan, Michigan, Zagreb and the UK will speak on multiple topics including:

multidisciplinary components of the neuroendocrine tumour service;
quality and safety in radiopharmacy;
advanced practice for our RTNs;
multiple radionuclide therapy components;
the role of artificial intelligence in nuclear medicine imaging;
increasing importance of SPECT/CT, being driven by the expansion of the technology across our departments;
dementia imaging including amyloid beta transporters;
the continuing central role of nuclear medicine to the management of thyroid disease;
PETCT’s expansion into radiotherapy planning, immunotherapy, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, parathyroid assessment, dementia, cardiology, infection and inflammation.

The annual lecture is to be given by Professor Arturo Chiti from Milan on the current standing of artificial intelligence within oncological imaging. The Highlights Lecture this year will be given by Dr Mary Prescott and Professor Richard Lawson from Central Manchester Nuclear Medicine Centre.

Opportunities for delegates to ask questions and interact
Industry-led symposia and breakout sessions will allow delegates to interact with industry leaders they need to improve and develop their own services.

As a light-hearted social event we have Glasgow, Medicine and Frankenstein – a virtual tour with a local. In this virtual tour we would like to give you a view of Glasgow, the location for our Spring 2022 Meeting, the first BNMS post-pandemic face-to-face meeting, to be held on May 16-18, 2022 at the SEC in Glasgow.

With a live streamed tour guide this virtual tour will start from the sixth century to present day. We will discover secret symbols embedded everywhere around the city, stories of the Glaswegian people and, of course some tales from Glasgow’s sometimes gruesome medical past.

Glasgow is famed for its contributions to medical science and sense of humour. Topics will include: Glasgow street art: the story of our founder and what the bird, the bell, the tree and the fish mean; Glasgow Royal Infirmary history highlights; Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons history highlights; graduate Dr David Livingstone and why he is the infamous lucky number 13; University of Glasgow’s contributions to the nuclear medical field including the morbidly fascinating tales of discovery and invention and the medical people who have made Glasgow. Make sure you book this session on our virtual platform.

The platform will be open for delegates to log in and network with other attendees, discover the exhibition area, posters and to create their own programme from September 20. Registration is now open, visit the BNMS website to view the preliminary programme and to register.
