This webpage refers only to the dinner. The dinner has been set up on the website as if it were a separate meeting. 

There will be an informal dinner after the scientific meeting at a local restaurant (Salaam Namaste, 68 Millman Street, Bloomsbury, and London WC1N3EF @ 18.30) within walking distance of Queen Square. The cost of this (£40) is additional to the meeting registration and those wishing to attend dinner should register on this page and pay before 10th November so that numbers can be finalised with the restaurant.

If you wish to attend both the actual meeting and the dinner then you must register and pay twice, both on this page and on the main meeting page.

If you don't wish to attend the dinner, then don't register on this page but instead go to the main meeting page.

New UK Charity for Peripheral Neuropathy

The BPNS wish to facilitate setup of a new charity for peripheral neuropathy in the UK.  There is no charity or association in the UK which supports people with all the many causes of peripheral neuropathy.  Only a few specific causes of neuropathy have a UK charity, such as CMT-UK, GAIN and Diabetes UK.  There is no UK charity to support idiopathic neuropathy, painful small fibre neuropathy (except general pain charities), brachial neuritis, carpal tunnel and entrapment neuropathies, chemotherapy neuropathy (except cancer charities), etc. Several people have come forward to assist with this and work is progressing to get the new charity up and running.
