We have details about our venue and how to get there, its accessibility, the creche and more. Plus how lunch and refreshments are provided (including for those observing Ramadan) and booking accommodation.
We're delighted to present the speakers on our main stage, with topics including the global impact of COVID-19 on children's health, patient safety advancements and sustainable medicines.
