The conference was a great opportunity to make new connections and network with colleagues whilst keeping up-to-date with the latest in Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

The Tony Frew Award was awarded to John Joyce for ‘Delivering Great Education in Allergy’ and Judith Holloway gave the ‘Tony Frew Excellence in Allergy Education Lecture’. BSACI 2024 Honorary Member was awarded to Bryan Martin current President of WAO. Congratulations also to Adam Fox who has been awarded the BSACI Fellows Award, this award recognises BSACI members who have made significant contributions to the society in providing a continuously active role for 20 years or more, helping to shape the society and UK allergy & clinical immunology as a specialty within the UK.
BSACI again supported delegates through the Abstract Award Scheme with travel, registration and accommodation costs for the conference. We were delighted to award 17 Abstract Awards this year as well as 13 Medical Scholarships.
The conference was interspersed with industry symposiums, thank you to all our industry partners and exhibitors for their support this year. The social events ‘Welcome Reception’ and ‘Gala Dinner’, were well attended and provided a great opportunity to make new connections and network. Well done to those who took part in the ‘5K Fun Run’, and thank you to DBV for sponsoring the run t-shirts.
