As I return from the BNMS Spring meeting in Glasgow I know UK nuclear medicine is in good shape. The energy was palpable and level of engagement was very high. We had in excess of 500 delegates which really made the meeting feel busy and productive.

It was a honour to present the BNMS awards this year with the BNMS celebrating the great achievements of several of our members. The list of winner can be found on our website. It was great awards dinner in the Glasgow science museum and my voice even held out which was not a given as there was no PA system and I had spent 2 days talking constantly!

Phil Blower, one of our award winners, commented that there was more basic science at the meeting this year than in recent times and that this was a very positive step. This allows the clinicians and the scientists to work in partnership which has to be a good thing. Please keep the science coming to our meeting.

The buzz of the commercial exhibition was good to see  - the ratio of delegates to space was about right. Industry seemed pleased with how the conference worked for them. Thank you to industry for their support, the meeting could not happen without them.

Nick Steven's performance in the fun run is worth a notable mention given he was the oldest competitor and he won it! Nick is role model to us all! Well done Nick.

Glasgow proved to be an excellent venue and I am sure we will return. The benefit of face-to-face were obvious and the after party at Radisson Red would not have worked so well in virtual format!

There are too many people to thank individually but I would like to give honourable mentions to Vineet Prakash, Brent Drake, the SEC committee, Charlotte Weston and Caroline Oxley without whom the meeting could not have happened. This was one of the best BNMS meetings I have been to. I am representing you at SNMMI next month in Vancouver and will report back in next month's blog.
