Are you conference ready?

The virtual stage is set and we’re adding the finishing touches, as we prepare to welcome you to our 7th annual conference.

It’s certainly been another busy 12 months in the world of research since we last came together, so this will be a great opportunity to hear from top researchers from across the UK and to join in discussions.

With an overall theme of Learning and Looking Forward, this year’s conference includes a packed programme of plenaries and parallel sessions.

You might be planning questions to contribute to our Learning from the pandemic plenary or our Inclusion, diversity and equality parallel session, or you might be keen to hear the latest developments in cancer research. There really is plenty for everyone.

We’ll also be celebrating the achievements of the research community in Wales over the past year, with a brand-new set of prize awards that will be announced at the end of the day. You never know, it could be your name we read out on 14 October!

Make sure you register for the event. It promises to be another excellent Health and Care Research Wales conference and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Professor Kieran Walshe, Director, Health and Care Research Wales
