Phospholipids and their biochemistry are essential components of cellular function. Whilst it has been tempting to see lipid therapy polarising between Omega 3 and Omega 6 there are many other essential carbon chain fats that influence health, even in complex illness. This 2 day conference is aimed at the practitioner looking for the next level of understanding in the delivery of fatty acid therapy for sophisticated clinical strategy.
Leading experts will discuss, investigations, interventions, lipid chemistry and its role as direct therapy. This 2 day conference will bring a new perspective to your clinical practice and is suited for all practitioners involved in the management of their patients using fatty acids.

The immune system is prone to the same grave misfortunes as any defense system handling weapons: collateral damage that comes with the destruction of the enemy on one’s own territory and friendly fire due to mistaken identity. Whereas the collateral damage is the price we pay for clearance of infections, autoimmunity is a pathological process. Nevertheless, the effector mechanisms involved in both processes are the same. Whether environment can be a cause, a trigger or an amplifier of an autoimmune disease are questions that are being intensively investigated.
