On behalf of the organising committee, I am delighted to invite you to attend the 42nd Annual Conference of the British Medical Laser Association, to be held in the VOCO St John’s, Solihull, between 6 and 8 May 2026.
All medics, surgeons, nurses, technicians, aestheticians, scientists, students and therapists involved in the field are invited to join us to gather, share knowledge and disseminate the latest advances in the laser and light-based devices arena, for the continual improvement of patients’ and clients’ health and well-being.
The ever-popular educational courses are returning on the Wednesday 6 May, starting with the Core of Knowledge followed by additional specialised courses delivered by an expert faculty team. These courses are usually highly subscribed, the demand for spaces has grown year on year, with feedback being consistently very high, so be sure to your book your place.
Then, we continue with two full conference days with exhibition on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 May. We aim to have an exciting innovative speaker for our Vasant Oswal Oration, fresh speakers/presenters running our popular sessions, as well as original brand-new concepts in our scientific programme. We welcome back well-liked subjects such as skin laser treatments, lasers in veterinary medicine, photobiomodulation and laser safety. All in all, it’s shaping up to be a bumper conference for 2026!
Please visit the programme page for the developing details of sessions and speakers.
In a continued endeavour to cater for such a diverse group of candidates, the BMLA seeks to challenge the norms and develop a high quality, evidence based, scientific programme to stimulate the minds of medical and aesthetic laser enthusiasts. On that note, we invite you all to submit an abstract or presentation summary to be delivered at the conference in Solihull.
This website (openingdoors.eventsair.com/bmla2026/) will be updated regularly to provide you with more information on the conference, but general enquiries are also welcome via the ‘Contact Us’ page.
I, and my fellow Executive Board colleagues, look forward to seeing our delegates again in-person and welcoming you to Solihull in May 2026!
Yours Sincerely,
Prof. Vishal Madan
BMLA President
