There will be a comprehensive desk in the Registration Desk area in the Conference Hotel, manned throughout the Conference to help accompanying persons with advice on how to visit the attractions in London. Volunteers will also be available to take visitors to specialised places such as the Fleming Museum (where Penicillin was discovered) at St Mary's Hospital just around the corner from the hotel, or the Old St Thomas's Hospital operating theatre and the Royal College of Surgeons. Those interested in such tours should indicate their interest to the Conference Organisers by e-mail. |

Programme of Walks and ToursA number of visits to important historical and artistic sites of interest have been organised as part of this Conference. Because of the nature of many of these sites, numbers are limited so booking in advance is encouraged. Because the Conference is unable to carry the costs of empty places within this programme of walks and tours, all places are subject to confirmation and the Organisers reserve the right to cancel any walk or tour if insufficient interest is shown to make the walk or tour feasible. PLEASE INDICATE ON THE REGISTRATION FORM WHICH WALK AND TOUR YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Please note the varying charges for the walks and tours, given at the end of each item.
