Trent International Prosthetic Symposium

TIPS is the principal international conference on the topic of upper limb prosthetics.   For many years it was run as an independent conference but since 2005 has been organised by ISPO UK NMS where it has continued to increase in size and reputation.

TIPS 2009 will be held from 18th to 20th May 2009 and, in response to increasing delegate numbers, moves to the prestigious Burleigh Court Conference Centre, a first class venue located in the heart of the Trent area, convenient for both national and international delegates, providing excellent meeting and leisure facilities and flexible exhibition accommodation.

This three day symposium offers a mixed programme of guest lectures, invited speakers, scientific and clinical papers as well as manufacturers’ workshops and a commercial exhibition.   
You are invited to submit abstracts for the free paper sessions.  TIPS has always aimed to be relevant and of interest – for this reason clinical papers are also encouraged.  We are a small community and sharing experience and knowledge is invaluable.  All contributions will be reviewed before inclusion in the programme.  The deadline date for receipt of all abstract submissions is Friday 30th January 2009.

The commercial exhibition  has always been a key aspect of TIPS providing delegates with a rare opportunity to view the specialised components required in the field of upper limb prosthetics and discuss new products and innovations with representatives in the rehabilitation sector.   Please download an exhibitor information pack for full details of the commercial exhibition and sponsorship opportunities or contact Irene Cameron at 0141 560 4092 (e-mail: info@ispo.org.uk ).
