Ninth National Pituitary Clinico-pathological Conference: 28th March 2007

Ninth National Pituitary Clinico-pathological Conference
Wednesday 28th March 2007 (all day)
Institute of Child Health, London

Dear Colleague

The annual Pituitary CPC is almost upon us. This year we have an excellent set of speakers, who will give their own overview of four different aspects of pituitary disease:

An update on prolactin and prolactinomas, genetic mechanisms of pituitary adenoma, neuro-ophthalmology in the pituitary clinic, and endoscopic pituitary surgery.

In addition the meeting provides a very welcome opportunity forclinicians to present cases and to discuss management difficulties with experts in the field. Many have commented that this combination of expert overview and case-based discussion is one of the best ways of learning and keeping up to date.

I have attached a summary of the programme, and also the leaflet giving details of how to book. You can register on line at CFS Events website. I look forward to seeing you there.

Best wishes
