Meetings are held annually, attracting a wide audience from throughout the UK and, increasingly, from continental Europe. The presentations are traditionally balanced between clinical and laboratory studies. They are published in abstract form in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, the leading journal in the field, (impact factor 6.3). The participation of young scientists and clinicians is actively encouraged.
