The Society of Sports Therapists is delighted to announce that a number of its Members will be taking part in Therapy Expo 2021 at the Birmingham NEC. Yes, after all those online events, which undoubtedly have given us some brilliant CPD opportunities and kept us going through difficult times, it’s great to say, it’s a face-to-face conference with a stellar line-up.
At this stage, we just wanted to give you advanced warning so you can put the date in your diary and book a couple of days off ! Yes, it’s a two-day event on Wednesday 24th & Thursday 25th November 2021. There will also be a limited number of special rate tickets for Members, and we will send details in due course. They will be sold on a first come, first served basis, via the Therapy Expo site.***** See below
