British Islamic Medical Association National Conference 2023

Conference now SOLD OUT! Networking Dinner only tickets available here

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh,

The much anticipated and one of the biggest events of the year – The BIMA National Conference 2023 is NOW HERE!

We are thrilled to invite you to the conference on Saturday 8th July at the prestigious Etihad stadium in the heart of Manchester!

The title of the conference this year is: “Unity in Community – Winning as One”

We have an incredible array of speakers lined up to discuss a variety of topics including keynote presentations such as ‘Discrimination in Healthcare’ and ‘Muslim Maternal Health’. Furthermore this year we are proud to have 4 parallel sessions throughout the day to increase the choice for delegates. The BIMA National Conference 2023 will be CPD accredited for up to 6 hours.

BIMA has partnered with Algbra for the National Conference 2023.

Algbra is an ethical finance platform that has set out to revolutionise how communities manage their money by providing sharia-compliant, sustainable and inclusive financial services.

Once you sign up and download the Algbra app, you are eligible for a £20 discount on the ticket price.

Use the following link on your phone (not your desktop) to proceed: https://bit.ly/bima_algbra

Please ONLY use this link, as downloading the app direct from Google or Apple stores will not recognise that you have come from the BIMA National Conference and hence no voucher will be sent to you!

Your “£20 off voucher code” will be emailed to you (one per person) after you have successfully onboarded with Algbra to use on purchasing your conference ticket.

If you do not receive your voucher code within 24 hours of signing up to Algbra then please email us at [email protected]

Tickets are also now live (without the Algbra offer) so do not miss out on the early bird offer using the following link. https://bit.ly/TicketsBIMANC23

As in previous years this conference is NOT confined to our members or those from only health care backgrounds. All are welcome!

Please spread the word and forward this email on to your friends, family and colleagues.

This is an event not to be missed, Insha’Allah.
