The line-up for the 2017 Cambridge Annual Medico-Legal Conference, co-organised by Stuart McKechnie, has been announced. The conference, which is now in its 7th year, takes place on Friday 29th September 2017 at Peterhouse College and once again features an eminent list of legal and medical speakers. Stuart will be chairing an extended session on Traumatic Brain Injuries. The conference ends with a champagne reception in the gardens of the college and then a formal banquet in hall. The event invariably sells out quickly, so those who wish to attend are advised to book quickly.
