What our attendees say

The learning from the BIMA conference in August 24 has stayed with me. I was humbled as a doctor by the lectures and the drive and motivation of your chosen speakers. Wishing you all the very best for the event in June 2025.

Some excellent speakers, including heart wrenching first hand accounts from the heroic healthcare professionals treating patients in Gaza. Truly humbled by their courage and strength of faith.

Had an insightful, and much needed, day for personal connection at the British Islamic Medical Association Annual Conference #BIMANC24 at the University of Warwick. Some excellent speakers, including heart wrenching first hand accounts from the heroic healthcare professionals treating patients in Gaza. Truly humbled by their courage and strength of faith.

Huge congratulations to BIMA Team on organising an excellent #BIMA National Conf. An organisation with dedicated people and purpose of social impact as demonstrated by #BiMA’s role during COVID & beyond. Listening to brave medics who risked their lives in #Gaza to save lives to mental health and resilience. Range of topics were excellent with valuable insights. I had the honour of addressing fellow peers this weekend, from the healthcare sector at the National Conference for 2024 about “Life beyond Healthcare”.

A brief note, personally and behalf of MDDUS, to thank you for the kind invitation to attend your annual conference. Alison and I found the day incredibly valuable, with lots to consider in both the short and long term. It was lovely to hear from such a diverse, and often very moving, range of speakers. The atmosphere within the conference itself was also special and reflects the success of all your efforts to develop a cohesive and supportive organisation. It would be great to continue the lines of communication until your next conference, at which I am optimistic MDDUS can play a more substantive role. There are certainly many areas of work we are developing with external stakeholders which I believe align with your own efforts and aspirations. I look forward to speaking again soon. In the meantime, I hope you all take a very well deserved rest, you have certainly earned it!
