The IMPT Congress 2023 will be a 'lite' version of the usual three day Congress to bring us back into line with our European colleagues (IASPE) and our BAOMS joint event 2024. After an amazing Congress event in Liverpool 2022 our next full IMPT Congress will be held in Bristol in 2025.

This one Day event is a great opportunity to get together for a full day of education and networking, with social event in the evening.

The 'Day' event will take place at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) in the School of Art. Manchester is a city that has had a huge impact on the education and training of IMPT members for the last 50 years. Most of the current working UK Maxillofacial Prosthetists will have trained at Gaythorne House (Manchester Polytechnic) and subsequently MMU. There have been huge changes at the University and around the City in recent years that we will all be able to explore.

The 'Evening' event (free to members) will take place at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill. Please add a ticket for the event to your registration only if you are attending the evening as well. Thank you. There will be food and plenty of opportunity for Members & Trainees to share ideas and a vision for the future of our amazing profession.
