The LabMed Scotland Committee are delighted to invite you to attend our two day scientific meeting at the Stirling Highland Hotel on 5 and 6 November 2026. We will be joined by immunology colleagues on the 6 November for a parallel immunology education day.  Day delegate spots are available however we would encourage you if possible to come and join us for the whole package which will include an overnight stay, a three course evening meal and breakfast as well as registration for both days of the conference.

We hope the strong scientific content of the meeting as well as the attractive venue in the heart of Scotland will entice you all to come and join us for two days of knowledge, networking and catching up with colleagues.
