40th Annual Meeting, Harrogate International Centre, 29 April - 2 May 2012
The BNMS returned to Harrogate this year for its 40th annual meeting and while the Yorkshire hospitality was warm the weather was not. The Scientific Committee, chaired by Dr Thomas Gruning, had assembled a full programme of scientific papers and continuing education sessions. The pre-meeting Sunday Boot Camp reviewed Paediatrics (Dr L Biassoni, Great Ormond Street Hospital), Thyroid including cancer and therapy (Prof V Lewington, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital), How to interpret myocardial perfusion scans (Prof R Underwood, Royal Brompton Hospital), and Neuroimaging (Prof S Vinjamuri, Royal Liverpool Hospital).

Update 17th May - The DaTSCAN is accepting submissions nationally. The deadline for submissions for the retrospective audit is 31st July 2012.
The DaTSCAN has been used clinically throughout Europe since 2000, initially for patients with suspected Parkinson's disease (PD) and latterly for suspected Lewy body dementia (DLB). Clinical trials have shown that the investigation is extremely useful and, to this end, NICE recommended this investigation in patients with suspected PD and suspected DLB in 2006. In the same year, the findings from the DaTSCAN were incorporated into clinical diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of DLB; in itself a reflection of the considerable esteem in which the findings from this study are held by the referring clinicians.
The British Nuclear Medicine Society (BNMS) has been in discussion with the UK neurology fraternity and British Movement Disorder Group following concerns about the lack of quality assurance for both the acquisition and reporting of these investigations.
