BNMS Annual Meeting 2021
举办时间：2021-11-02 地址：网络　　　

Introduction from Dr Simon Hughes, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Part of UHB NHS Foundation Trust

The BNMS Annual Virtual meeting is to be held from Monday 27th of September 2021 to Wednesday 29th of September 2021.

This is 3 days of virtual meeting with two to three streams of lectures involving multiple subjects for all of the craft groups who deliver the increasingly important service of nuclear medicine within the UK and across the world.

Nuclear medicine, I believe, remains in extremely good health. It is an increasingly important service, expanding across the country and across the developed world.

In my own service in Birmingham, UK I see an increasingly important and expanding service with the main problem is keeping up with demand. I see a PET-CT service that was a one tracer service and is now a 6-tracer service. I see a gamma camera replacement process here in Birmingham (and replicated across the country) establishing multi-slice SPECT-CT as a routine of the service and the introduction into clinical practise of solid-state detection technology. Both are slowly replacing the established technology of the gamma camera.

On the Monday, there will be 22 didactic lectures over three streams, 22 didactic lectures over 2 streams on the second day and 14 didactic lectures over the half third day. Multiple industry led symposia and breakout sessions will allow delegates to interact with industry leaders they need to improve and develop their own services. There will be all the usual prizes awarded for the abstracts at the end of the meeting and there will be the 2021 Young Investigators Prize session too.

We have international speakers from Los Angeles, Pretoria, Skopje, Vienna, New York, Porto, Milan, Michigan and Zagreb. Multiple experts and thought leaders from across the world and the United Kingdom will be delivering their views on high quality and cutting-edge technologies and service improvements within the healthy Nuclear Medicine service for multiple craft groups.

Multiple topics are being covered Including:

  • Multidisciplinary components of the Neuro endocrine tumour service.

  • Quality and safety in radiopharmacy

  • Advanced practise for our RTNs.

  • Multiple radionuclide therapy components.

  • The role of Artificial Intelligence in nuclear medicine imaging.

  • Increasing importance of SPECT-CT, being driven by the expansion of the technology across our departments.

  • Dementia imaging including amyloid beta transporters.

  • The continuing central role of nuclear medicine to the management of thyroid disease.

  • PET-CTs expansion into radiotherapy planning, immunotherapy, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, parathyroid assessment, dementia, cardiology, infection and inflammation.

  • The annual lecture is to be given by Professor Arturo Chiti from Milan on the current standing of artificial intelligence within oncological imaging.

Professor Chiti will be able to guide us all into this interesting and controversial topic.

Will he indicate, as I believe, that Artificial Intelligence will add to and augment our processes, not replace them, and find patterns of disease and interpretation of subtleties within images which will add to our service and increase its importance? We can all be there to hear his views.

The virtual conference will be chaired by Nuclear Medicine specialists from across the United Kingdom and there should be ample opportunities for delegates to ask questions and interact, to add to your enjoyment of this virtual meeting (a process we are all becoming more confident and more relaxed about).

I have always believed that Nuclear Medicine remains one of the most vibrant and strongly evidence-based practises in the whole of medical imaging.

Nuclear medicine remains at the forefront, providing increasingly vital information for multiple diseases and answering important clinical questions. We are all seeing the pressures to develop and expand our own therapy and theragnostic services, as nuclear medicine pushes directly into the delivery of improving outcomes of patients with disease.

I hope you checkout the full programme for the annual meeting and see how this can support and direct your own vibrant service.

As a member of the scientific and education committee of the British nuclear medicine society, I hope you will join us all in the virtual meeting coming up in September and that you will look forward to it as much as I am.

SHOULD YOU CREATE A CONFERENCE HUB?

Pros

  • A hub resembles a small conference, delegates in your hub can come together to watch the conference, interact with each other

  • You can serve lunch or refreshments

  • Creating a local hub encourages networking among participants and facilitates community building.

  • Delegates can suggest questions for the hub coordinator to input into the Q&A function.

  • Cost savings! Having lots of delegates attend via a hub can lead to significant cost savings

  • Hub delegates can create their own login to the Conference platform and access the exhibition, posters and network with other delegates.

  • If the hub delegates create their own login they are also entitled to their CPD certificate for accessing the event

  • We have kept the hub costs low even for our annual meeting and you can now purchase two hub tickets, thereby viewing two live streams, for only £525.

Cons

  • You will need a hub coordinator - they will arrange the hub, venue, IT, catering etc. Communicate hub member details to BNMS. Liaise between BNMS and hub attendees.

  • Hub delegates will not be able to view the streamed programme content when logging on to the conference platform individually.

  • You must ensure that your trust network enables Vimeo to be able to access the streamed content

  • Delegates will not be able to interact individually with the Q&A during the streamed programme content.

  • You will only be able to view one live stream per hub.

**If you feel that a hub group isn't appropriate for your team - a group discount might be a better option for you.
