I look forward to welcoming you to the LabMedUK25 National Meeting at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, between 9-11th June 2025.  

LabMedUK25 will bring together two days of high quality science comprising four plenary sessions and ten parallel symposia across 10-11th June. A really exciting programme will challenge our thinking around AI and laboratory medicine’s impact on health inequalities, as well as cover new science and updates on key areas. This is preceded by a training day for Clinical Biochemistry and Microbiology trainees on 9th June, offering an important way for trainees to meet their peers as well as to learn. Our social programme enables us to mix and unwind after the sessions.

This year we are delighted to announce that we are partnering with UNIVANTS and Abbott to host the winners of the 2025 UNIVANTS of Healthcare Excellence awards.

This scientific meeting offers an opportunity to present science and research, submit clinical cases and abstracts, find out what is new from our industry sponsors and corporate partners, and to network with colleagues from across the UK and abroad.

I am delighted that we see a return in 2025 to Manchester for our annual in-person scientific meeting and I am excited to see you all there.

President, Association for Laboratory Medicine

 

I am really looking forward to seeing you all at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, in June for LabMedUK25. This is such a beautiful and iconic venue in the heart of a city that is close to my own.

Ever year that we organise this conference we adapt and evolve in order to meet the needs of our members. This year we asked all members of the association to put forward ideas for sessions and speakers for future conferences in addition to the feedback that we received from conference delegates that attended the conference. The response was astounding, and we had far too many ideas to implement all at once. The scientific programme this year is made up of these sessions so thank you to all of those who rose to the challenge and I would encourage you all to have your say for the programme for 2026.

We are also excited to introduce changes to the poster sessions at LabMedUK25 that will help to highlight the variety of excellent work that is occurring throughout our departments. There will be a poster of the day on both Tuesday and Wednesday, voted for by conference delegates through the APP, so make sure you submit your abstracts and your poster PDF to be in with a chance at winning.

We are spotlighting the best posters that link into the POCT, Neurology, Immunology and Metabolic Disease themes of the conference and will be selecting this to give a quick presentation of these during the lunch breaks at the conference.
