Put Edinburgh, June 2006, on Your Calendar

Plans are well underway for a major travel medicine event in the summer of 2006, in the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh, Scotland. The ISTM, along with the Scandinavian Forum for Travel Medicine (Danish Society of Travel Medicine, Norwegian Forum for Travel Medicine, Swedish Society for Tropical Medicine), the British Travel Health Association, the Irish Society of Travel Medicine, and the Royal College of Nursing Travel Health Forum (UK) will be hosting a Northern European Conference in Travel Medicine - and it promises to be a great meeting!

The venue is the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, which is ideally situated within one of Europe’s capital cities. Edinburgh is an ideal centre for walking, full of culture, colour, history and heritage. The city is lively and dynamic with an excellent choice of restaurants and nightlife.

The conference programme will be packed with topics central to the practice of travel medicine - but with a focus on issues of particular relevance to the northern European region. As well as the diverse scientific programme there will be a lively calendar of social events, including a visit to the world famous castle - so bring along your partner, family, and friends as well!

Look out for news of the 2006 conference as plans progress...
