The International Children’s Bone Health Conference (ICCBH) is hosting a virtual forum from November 18-20 and we encourage professionals and patient representatives to attend.

Target group

The meeting programme of ICCBH Virtual Forum is designed for healthcare professionals and researchers.  Pharma industry regulations do not allow open invitations to members of the public to attend. However, patient organisation representatives are encouraged to register to attend the meeting provided they meet the following criteria:

• They represent a formally registered international organisation with elections (or national with some international activities) and
• They are a member of the management group or are officially nominated by the management group or are a paid member of staff.
