The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) has canceled its annual conference that was scheduled to take place April 20-22 in Glasgow.

“After careful monitoring of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation ... [and] in light of increasing demands on health services, our Board of Trustees felt it was no longer appropriate to host a large-scale event nor to take medical professionals away from where they may be needed most in the coming weeks,” the organization announced on its website.

The BSR said that it will soon have more information available for people affected, including “details of how we will showcase some of the content that would have been celebrated at the event.”
