What is BritSpine?
BritSpine is the UK's premier educational Conference and Exhibition on the topic of the Spine, bringing experts from all over the UK (and further afield!) to gather, network, promote and share knowledge while learning about the latest treatments and approaches in spine healthcare and research.
The roots of BritSpine date back to the inaugural combined meeting of the British Spinal Societies in 1999. Since then, the conference has evolved to a biennial event run by the UK Spine Societies Board (UKSSB) on behalf of, and involvement with the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS), British Scoliosis Society (BSS), Society of Back Pain Research (SBPR), National Spine Network (NSN) and the British Association of Spinal Cord Injury Specialists (BASCIS).
