Dear IHD colleagues,

After careful consideration, it is with great regret that the IHD Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s conference due to take place at the University of Nottingham on Friday 22 May 2020. The decision to postpone the conference follows increased concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainties surrounding this, and we felt that this was the best way to proceed. The organisers of the conference hope to work to reschedule their event at a later, yet undecided, date.

The IHD Committee are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event and know those hoping to attend will also share this disappointment. However, we feel that it is the right decision based on the information we presently have regarding to the global outbreak.

We hope that you all stay safe and please check out our website www.ihd.news and Twitter account @IHD20C for updates on potential rescheduling.

Kind regards,

The IHD Committee
