Dates: 21st and 22nd October
Venue: Milton Hill House, ​Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX13 6AF (same venue as last years meeting)

This year’s meeting will also have a session with 3 invited UK speakers specifically to cover current “hot topics” – ED testing (a hepatologist’s view), new WHO treatment guidelines (how will these be implemented in the UK?), and UK progress towards WHO viral hepatitis elimination goals. Our overseas speaker will be Fabien Zoulim from Lyon, France.

Through generous sponsorship from Gilead Sciences and Roche Diagnostics, we have been able to keep to registration fees for PhD students and below to £50, with a small rise in those for post-docs and above to £120. This includes accommodation and meals.

The early-bird registration runs up until 1st October.
