From 21-23 May, Brighton will be hosting the annual Protection, Health and Care Conference. The event is designed to offer interesting, relevant and interactive sessions covering a range of diverse areas. Examples include obesity, antibiotic resistance, technology and e-cigarettes, which have an impact on all of the products we provide to our customers. 

 The programme includes sessions with both UK and overseas case studies, and caters for those with an interest in private medical insurance (PMI), group insurance and individual protection.

As well as offering delegates the opportunity to develop their actuarial knowledge, the conference will cover medical, underwriting and claims issues that have wider implications for us as a profession.

I look forward to seeing you there.
