Bupa Foundation announces the 2008 Symposium date

4 March 2008

We are delighted to announce the Bupa Foundation 2008 Symposium to be held at the Directors Suite of the Science Museum, South Kensington on 25 June 2008.

It will feature prize-winning international projects from the 2004 Exploitation of Clinical Datasets competition. The presentations will take place from 4 - 7pm and will be followed by drinks and canapes, providing a further networking opportunity.

There is a nominal registration fee of only £25. Bursaries are available and early application is advised. Details are available from Mrs Lee Saunders, Bupa Foundation Administrator.

Eight medical research projects received awards worth a total of £900,397 from the annual Bupa Foundation specialist grants programme. All the projects exploit existing data sets to yield new medical knowledge, leading to improved services and treatments.

The benefit to public health and patient care from the chosen research projects is wide-reaching and the information gained will provide medical teams and policy-makers with new knowledge about topics including infections during pregnancy, assisted reproductive technology and low birth weight, chronic disease management and prostate cancer.

We are inviting scientists, medical and health professionals to attend this conference and discuss the insights into these important clinical areas with researchers from Australia and the UK.
