The AGM and Conference 2017 will be on Sunday 2nd July at the Oxford Belfry Hotel, Milton Common, near Thame, Oxford. The format for the day is as for previous years with the charities AGM being held alongside the Conference, which will include separate Break Out sessions for Juvenile Dermatomyositis, Dermatomyositis, Polymyositis, and Inclusion Body Myositis.
The charity has a limited number of reserved bedrooms for overnight accommodation reserved at the hotel with preferential booking rates. These rooms can only be booked through Myositis UK and details will be sent to members later in the year.
Advanced registration is required to attend (free to Myositis UK members & one partner/carer). Details to register for the conference will be sent (via post/email) to Myositis UK members. On return of your completed registration form a conference pack will be sent 10 days prior to the AGM and Conference.
