Following on from the record-breaking success of the 2018 Annual Scientific Meeting in Liverpool with over 1300 attendees, the BSH 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting will cater for all haematology specialists with an excellent scientific and educational programme covering the latest research and best practice. The 2019 programme has been directly developed in response to feedback from the last meeting building on this rich experience and addressing new identified needs. The programme will include the best in British and international healthcare science presented from innovative perspectives. BSH will also celebrate 70 years of the NHS, draw on potential talent for the future, demonstrate the contributions of a multiprofessional workforce and ensure patients are always at the heart of our work.
