On behalf of NECTM the local organising committee is delighted to invite you to the 5th Northern European Conference on Travel Medicine in Bergen from June 5 – 8, 2014.
The four previous successful biennial conferences, in Edinburgh, Helsinki, Hamburg and Dublin have increasingly gathered delegates from all over Europe and overseas – leading to an expectation that roughly 1000 delegates will come to Bergen.
Physicians, nurses, researchers, pharmacists and students in travel medicine and related specialties will find a programme aimed at mirroring travel medicine as a comprehensive discipline encompassing controversies and dilemmas, particularly included in a “Speakers corner”, in free communications and in interactive Objective Structured Knowledge Exchange (OSKE) sessions – successfully introduced at NECTM in Dublin.
Bergen commands the spectacular western edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The scenic set-up between the beautiful Hardangerfjord and the awe-inspiring Sognefjord is one of Bergen’s biggest landmarks.
Among several sites to visit is the architecturally unique Hanseatic Wharf (”Tyskebryggen”), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Hansa set up one of their four European offices back in the 13th century, and the famous Leprosy Museum (Hansen’s Disease) at St. George's Hospital.
Delegates should also notice “Norway in a nutshell”, the pré-conference tour into the Sognefjord and up the Flåm Valley back to Bergen on Wednesday June the 4th.
The conference venue is “Grieghallen”, the famous concert hall situated in the city centre within walking distance from conference hotels.
We sincerely hope the 5th NECTM, the City of Bergen and the opportunities to visit surrounding fjords and mountains will give delegates a long lasting memory of extended value.
