As always, we expect a great attendance and we are greatly supported by the NET clinicians form around the country who will attend.

Our international guests this year are Prof. Barbro Eriksson and Ms Jenny Falkerby from Uppsala.

NET2015 Friday Night Get-Together

We would like to strengthen the NETs community by trying to get everyone together who is available on the Friday night before the NET 2015 event for a casual get-together and a chat.

We will meet up in the lobby or bar of one of the two hotels above on the Friday evening at 8pm and stay until about 10pm.

All the members of the NET Patient Network committee will be there and we would love everyone to come along and say hello.

We will let you know where exactly the get-together will be held closer to the event.
