it is our great pleasure and privilege to invite you to Cyprus in 2016 to take part in the   medical conference. The  Society is planning a meeting of outstanding scientific interest and quality .   The scientific programme has been meticulously prepared and organised by the Scientific Committee. As ever, it will allow for major coverage of the main clinical areas of interest for practicing doctors, and it will also feature cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Translational research has as usual a prominent part in the programme, and special thought and attention has been paid to biologics , Good Clinical Practice and other important clinical areas.
