| WELCOME INVITATION |
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to draw your attention to the forthcoming meeting of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene on 17th - 19th September this year at the Hove Centre in one of the UK’s newest cities - Brighton and Hove.
Following the highly successful Centenary meeting
of the Society, held in London last September, the Council of the Society decided that residential meetings were one of the most appropriate ways of enhancing the Society’s mission in the furtherance
of our discipline. This decision was made for several reasons - to bring the Fellowship together on a regular basis thereby allowing a forum for scientific exchange and networking; to provide a unique educational forum through plenary sessions for Fellows to expand their interests into other sub disciplines, to hear from the most distinguished practitioners without the competing problems that parallel sessions introduce; to provide a forum for students interested in tropical medicine and related health disciplines to learn and become engaged in the subject as a potential career.
I am indebted to the Society Meetings Committee for all their hard work, especially Dr. Melanie Newport who has been at the “sharp end” of the organisation in Brighton and who has developed such an exciting programme around some outstanding contributors and Hampton Medical Conferences Ltd., the Conference Organisers for their assistance in the local planning.
Brighton and Hove is an ideal conference venue and UK political parties have used this seaside environment for decades as the favourite conference location. Brighton and Hove is easily accessible from London’s Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, has bracing seaside air, many cultural attractions and a vibrant academic community including one of the UK’s newest medical schools.
I look forward to welcoming you to Brighton in September. Please spread the message and encourage colleagues to attend. The Society particularly welcomes students interested in the ever expanding field of international health as it seeks to further the impact it has on the poorest people in addressing the Millennium Development Goals.
David Molyneux,
President of the RSTMH
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK
