The FOM AGM, Awards and Annual Dinner will take place at the Royal College of Physicians, London on 26 September 2024.

The annual scientific meeting, held this year in Belfast 20 and 21 June, is open for registration.

The conference website has been updated to include the full programme, social events and workplace visits. These include a visit to Translink’s £1.7 million Training Academy in south Belfast, a guided tour at Titanic Distillers and visits to Coca Cola and Spirit Aerosystems.

Full registration includes participation in all sessions, poster viewing, access to the exhibition, delegate materials and catering during the conference including an invitation to the welcome reception on-board SS Nomadic, moored next to Titanic Belfast (but places must be pre-booked) on 19 June. Tickets to attend the Gala Dinner on 20 June can be purchased separately.

Recognising financial and cost-of-living pressures, SOM and FOM have kept the registration fees for 2024 at the 2023 level.

The updated website also has information on the venue location, hotels and things to do around Belfast. It’s set to be an exciting conference in a vibrant and historic city.

The 2023 Trainee Conference of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine took place at the Royal College of Physicians in London on the 21st September.

Thank you to all our speakers, trainees and members who joined us for an enjoyable and informative morning of talks and networking.

Our speakers included Prof. Ian Brown who discussed the link between diet and brain health and Dr. John Sterland who talked with FOM trainees about shaping stress consultations. FOM Fellow Dr Nadia Sheikh ran an excellent session on writing guidance for healthcare professionals and FOM Honorary Fellow Dr Vaughan Parsons offered his practical advice to trainees on presenting research.

Here are some photos from the event.
