Spotlight on: Our 20th Annual Scientific Meeting

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

We had a successful 20th Annual Scientific Meeting held in Bristol, 25-26th March 2025. 

The theme of the conference was Behavioural Medicine for an Equitable Future and we had a packed scientific programme featuring posters, symposia and presentations showcasing quality behavioural science research. 

As well as a packed scientific programme, we held three pre-conference workshops and SIG events that covered topics such as climate change, co-production and meta-analysis. Our Early Careers Network hosted a networking session. And we recognised excellence in behavioural medicine through the presentation of our annual awards. 

We look forward to next year’s conference – more information coming soon!
