It is with great sadness that we must announce that the Vulval Pain Society Conference on the 19 February 2022 has been cancelled. There is still a huge amount of uncertainty and the possibility of last minute changes are very real, so the risks are too great for us to proceed with the meeting. We appreciate your support and understanding, this has not been an easy decision to make and we look forward to seeing you soon face-to-face.

Many thanks
