Important update: New Dates BGS Spring Meeting 2027

The BGS Spring Meeting 2027 has been rescheduled and will now take place on 17-18 May 2027 at the SEC, Glasgow. It will no longer be held on 25-26 May 2027.

Following the announcement of a series of Oasis concerts in Glasgow during May 2027, accommodation availability across the city has become extremely limited and hotel prices have increased significantly. Given NHS and employer reimbursement limits, we were concerned that many delegates would be unable to secure affordable accommodation, which would affect attendance and accessibility. After careful consideration, we therefore took the decision to move the meeting to alternative dates.
 

Existing registrations will automatically transfer to the new dates. Delegates who are unable to attend can request a full refund of their registration fee.

For further information, including frequently asked questions and refund details, please visit the event page or contact registrations@bgs.org.uk.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank delegates for their understanding and continued support of the British Geriatrics Society.

Accommodation in recent years has increased in costs and this year keeping costs low is important. Study leave budgets are always under pressure and never seem to go far enough.
