The UK Platelet Group Meeting is composed of both oral and poster sessions. We are very pleased to announce four internationally recognised plenary speakers, including the Funny Blood sponsored clinical talk to be given by Cheng-Hock Toh.
The remaining speakers will all be selected from submitted abstracts with emphasis on providing younger researchers and students an opportunity to present their work.
In additional there will be a pre-meeting workshop on “Cutting edge technologies for clinical and experimental platelet function testing”.
