This unmissable event offers a convergence of knowledge, networking, and inspiration that will take your medical career to the next level. But it’s more than the conference itself that makes this experience special.

Edinburgh is a historic and charming city, with a world-famous medical heritage dating back to 1505. Its combination of history and rugged Scottish landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for a few days of learning and exploration. 

Here’s a glimpse at what this enchanting destination has to offer:

Breathe in the History

Immerse yourself in Edinburgh’s rich history by visiting the iconic Edinburgh Castle, perched high atop an extinct volcano. Visit the Surgeons’ Hall Museums at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Take a stroll along the Royal Mile, where cobblestone streets are lined with shops, traditional pubs, and historic landmarks. Discover the city’s fascinating past through captivating stories of royals, rebels, and legendary figures.

Soak up the Vibrant Culture

Edinburgh is renowned for its vibrant arts and culture scene. Don’t miss the chance to explore its numerous art galleries, theatres, and live performance venues. Experience world-class exhibitions at the Scottish National Gallery or electrifying performances at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

Edinburgh tickets from £165

It’s been a tough year for medics with industrial action and the rising cost of living putting strain on us all. As a result we’ve worked incredibly hard to not only keep costs down but significantly reduce Edinburgh ticket prices for the conference this year. We recognise that medics need support, inspiration and community – now more than ever.
