FoMSF National Conference

This is the principle, flagship annual event for Friends of MSF groups across the UK and Ireland and all groups are expected to be represented.

It is open to all Friends of MSF groups. You don’t have to be a committee member to attend – anyone interested in MSF is welcome – so spread the word.

It is a day full of inspirational and informative workshops and lectures all about MSF, humanitarianism and global health with a plethora of speakers from all walks of life.

It is also a chance for you to present what you have been up to so far this year, as well as catch up and exchange ideas with your fellow MSFers.

The event will be in London, but also livestreamed, so if you can’t make it in person you can watch online.

However, we strongly encourage you to attend in person if you can, as you will get much more out of the event and be able to network and socialise with each other. We also help to subsidise travel.
