BSHT 2024:
Who should attend?
Scientists, clinicians, researchers, laboratory staff
“The BSHT ASM is a particularly unique meeting that unites both clinicians and scientists in the field of H&T throughout the United Kingdom. 2023 was my second BSHT ASM and provided yet another excellent opportunity for networking in an exceptionally welcoming field more so than that of larger international meetings. Particularly for clinicians it provides a rare but important insight into the basic science and translational research that underpins our practice which I have especially found invaluable. “

Call for case study submissions for the Clinical Education session
As part of the Clinical Education Session at BSHT 2024 we would welcome trainees to submit cases of interest for presentation. Studies around haemostasis and thrombosis in women’s health are particularly encouraged.
We would like you to outline the relevant case history and the key learning points, and to name a supervising consultant. Successful submissions will be presented within the session and will be opened to the audience for debate and discussion. All presenters will receive acknowledgement of their participation, and a panel will award a prize for the best presentation on the day.
