Register by 28th April for the discounted early bird rate for our annual meeting, BSG Live 22 which will be taking place in person at the ICC, Birmingham from 20th – 23rd June 2022.

The EBME Expo is an independent educational event bringing together healthcare professionals who are responsible for the management of medical equipment. These healthcare professionals are involved in areas such as procurement, maintenance, user training, and managing inventories.

Thanks to the sponsorship of our 90+ exhibitors, this independent exhibition is offered free of charge to all visitors. Furthermore, there are three workshops in the break out areas and many of our exhibitors provide technical demonstrations.

For our 2022 event on the 28th & 29th June, we are excited to announce that we will be moving to the Coventry Building Society Arena (Formerly the Ricoh Arena), Coventry, UK.  This larger venue has been chosen so that we can expand to host a second conference focusing on ‘The Operating Theatre’, and to keep up with demand from both exhibitors and delegates.  Operating theatre staff are the largest group of medical equipment users in hospitals, and this is why we believe they will complement our current audience.

We are delighted to welcome Rob Brothwood, Senior Operating Department Practitioner at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital, as the Chairman for the additional conference area, to which we will be welcoming Specialist EBME Technicians, Operating Department Practitioners (ODP’s), Theatre & Recovery Nurses,  Anaesthetists, Surgeons, plus others…

• Eight speaker sessions each day in the EBME conference hall, focussing on innovations in medical equipment technology and maintenance on day one and medical equipment management, procurement, and training on day two.
