Conference off with a flyer
Early birdies – today we unveil our 2026 national conference, which this year takes place at a hotel bordering a picturesque golf course.
International medics and dentists will descend on Worsley Park Country Hotel, which is also a stone’s throw from one of Europe’s largest shopping emporiums, the Trafford Centre.
Previous years have seen everything from antibiotic resistant infections to proper use of pronouns for patients discussed.
The conference is also a platform for us to celebrate everything that is good about BIDA – and the individuals who have served it.
More details will be coming soon, but in the meantime if you haven’t yet joined an organisation that helps international medics settle into the NHS and life in Britain, NOW’S THE TIME.

BIDA a leader in changing minds
Much has been made of two new tests designed to speed-up endometriosis diagnosis and do so without the need for laparoscopy surgery - https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/39665112/endometriosis-breakthrough-simple-hormone-test-diagnose-earlier/
But the subject would never have registered any interest at all a couple of years ago, when awareness of the condition was so poor both in the public and the medical profession.
BIDA has played its part in the surge in profile, in particular our support for the charity Endometriosis Awareness North.
Our Women’s Healthcare Forum Chair Dr Anita Sharma has been instrumental in organising awareness and fundraising events, has spoken at resident doctor’s gatherings and become a figure in the media. And she has been ably assisted by members of BIDA including clinicians, pain consultants, and even our marketing team.
From racism within health to women breaking the glass ceiling, BIDA is determined to tackle some of the main issues of the day – and by working together, we have certainly put endo on the map!

Pyramid visit pinnacle of science conference
The full brochure for BIDA’s 17th International Conference has just been published.
And it promises to be a wonderfully colourful mix of serious debate and historical site seeing.
Amongst the activities planned is a visit to The Valley of the Kings and some time at the Giza Pyramids – built for the Pharoh Khufu, and dating back to 2600 B.C!
The science part of the programme will look at good practice from a myriad of countries, so that we can make good health a universal notion.
The pyramid shape has been used to illustrate good nutrition and light pyramids – or prisms – are also used in meditation and yoga.
