Welcome to the British Medical Laser Association
 Annual Conference 2020

**POSTPONED - PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE ABOVE FOR MORE INFORMATION.**

Following a very successful conference in London, I am delighted to welcome to you to the 38th Annual Conference of the British Medical Laser Association, to be held at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Scotland from Tuesday 5th May to Thursday 7th May 2020. The early May bank holiday in 2020 will move from Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day so we have had to change our dates accordingly.

The BMLA conference is a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, recent advances, and everything else in the field of lasers and light based devices for all medics, surgeons, nurses, technicians, aestheticians and scientists who are directly or indirectly involved in the use of such devices for improving their patients’ and clients’ health and wellbeing. Whilst it is always a challenge to cater to such a diverse group of candidates, the BMLA has been accepting this challenge year on year and delivering high quality, evidence based, scientific programme to stimulate the minds of medical and aesthetic laser enthusiasts.

Like always, we start our conference with laser core of knowledge and skin courses. These courses are highly subscribed and the demand for spaces has grown year on year. Feedback for all courses has consistently been very high.

Not only do we have dedicated conference sessions for skin laser treatments, paediatrics, photodynamic therapy and biophotonics, use of lasers in surgery; but we will have in addition lasers in dentistry as a separate session which proved very popular amongst our dental colleagues.

The BMLA prides itself on being inclusive and we will continue to have a dedicated ‘nurses and therapists’ session’ which has been so popular in the last few years. Besides the scientific bonanza, we promise to offer delegates a great opportunity to establish new contacts, pick up pearls of wisdom from experienced colleagues and of course enjoy the conference dinner at The Caves on Wednesday evening.

Edinburgh, the jewel in Scotland’s crown will be hosting the biggest and best BMLA conference to date! We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh! See you then…
