MECC MAASTRICHT

Thanks to years of intensive collaboration with Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus, Maastricht University Medical Centre (MUMC+), Maastricht University, and the Maastricht Convention Bureau, MECC Maastricht has been hosting multi-day, international medical and other conferences for over 30 years. The combination of Maastricht’s innovative economy, international location, and inspiring environment makes this region unique. It’s a melting pot of research, education and entrepreneurship.

The Congress included several papers looking at aspects of falls.  There was a diverse range of work presented, some of which overlap with the work undertaken by members of UKSRG.
Steve Thorpe and Richard Bowman presented posters at the conference.
