Destination & Venue

We are delighted that the 2027 meeting is heading back to Manchester! Both the courses and the conference days will be hosted at the King's House Conference Centre, close to the University of Manchester campus and the city centre.

Dear BMLA members, colleagues and friends,

I'm delighted to announce the 43rd Annual Conference of the British Medical Laser Association at King's House Conference Centre, Manchester, from 19 to 21 May 2027. Manchester has hosted many BMLA conferences over the years, and it's good to be going back.

My first BMLA meeting was in 2009, shortly after I started working with medical and aesthetic lasers. I arrived as a trainee scientist with a lot to learn, and I've been coming back ever since. This will be my first conference as President, following my election in Solihull in May 2026.

Looking back, the BMLA shaped my career in many ways. It gave me opportunities to learn, to take on responsibilities and to help shape how we approach medical and cosmetic lasers. Many of the people I met along the way became colleagues, mentors and friends. I hope you find the same welcome. Ask questions in the sessions, over coffee and lunch, at the evening events, or by getting in touch after the conference. Everyone here was new once, and you'll find

people happy to share what they know. Whether you're just starting out, building your practice or looking for a new challenge,

there's something here to help you take the next step, wherever that leads....

Dr Tom Lister

BMLA President
