Welcome to OBIC 2025!

Join us for the 12th Annual Oxford Bone Infection Conference, taking place on 27–28 March 2025 at the Examination Schools in the beautiful city of Oxford.

OBIC offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with and learn from colleagues involved in managing bone and joint infections.
The aim of this conference is not only to educate but also to share ideas and stimulate discussion. We hope this will lead to improved clinical practices and encourage research to strengthen the evidence base in this field.

The core principle of OBIC is multidisciplinary collaboration. We invite professionals of all levels, including orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, infection specialists, microbiologists, nursing and therapy staff, and researchers, to attend.

The programme will feature lectures, workshops, and interactive sessions. Internationally renowned speakers will deliver state-of-the-art presentations, including the prestigious Cierny-Mader Lecture, which is awarded each year to honour “excellence and innovation in the multidisciplinary management of bone and joint infection.”
Explore the programme here.

We encourage you to share your ideas, research, and clinical findings by presenting them to your peers during the conference. Submit your abstract here.

We look forward to welcoming you to Oxford!
