Introduction
This meeting follows highly successful Bone meetings held every two years in Clare since 2000.
Invitations are being sent to basic scientists and clinicians from all disciplines working on bone, bone disease and fracture repair. The objective is to update clinicians with an understanding of current research and to confront scientists with clinical realities.
The format is designed to stimulate new ideas, with ample time for both formal and informal discussion.
We look forward to your company.
