Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and IPA worked tirelessly to plan a financially sustainable and successful Congress for members and colleagues. Unfortunately, we have not been able to agree on a way forward. 

The IPA and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ have therefore decided to discontinue their plans to jointly organize the Congress. The Congress was due to be held in Glasgow in June 2025.

Dr. Naveen Thacker, IPA President, said:

IPA was hoping to be in Scotland and in the European region in 2025 since our previous plan to meet in Glasgow was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of both IPA and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to reach agreement on Congress delivery, we have not been able to find a way forward.  We will therefore be announcing alternative plans for the IPA Congress 2025 soon.

In response, Âé¶¹´«Ã½ President, Dr Camilla Kingdon said:

We remain committed to supporting the IPA, as members of the organisation. The College will continue to deliver its annual flagship conference in 2025 for Âé¶¹´«Ã½ members.
