• We can't wait to see you face to face!

    ​11th and 12th October 2022
    After 2 years of virtual events, we were really pleased to welcome everyone back to a face to face PIER Conference 2022 at Hope Church in Winchester. We had an exciting, varied and stimulating programme of plenaries, workshops and presentations covering a wide variety of paediatric topics with something for all members of the paediatric MDT.

    We look forward to seeing you all again for PIER 2023!
