We are excited to announce our Research Event 2022 which will be held in Dundee on 26th February.

Trustee Yvonne Grant will announce the details of our first ‘Dr Margaret Grant MBE Legacy Award’ .

This event will also cover ‘People Involvement in Research’ and there will be a recap on current and exciting new research projects which the Brittle Bone Society support. It will also feature news on our History Bones project (University of Dundee) and we plan to share the first unveiling of our new BBS website.

Numbers for this event, as you will appreciate, will be limited due to the ongoing pandemic.
