National Final 2009/10 -- 02 Jul 2010
Join us for the National Final 2009/10 on Friday 2 July to Sunday 4 July.
We are delighted that the Royal Society of Medicine have again agreed to host the Debating Matters National Final at their prestigious venue in central London. The Royal Society of Medicine, set up over 200 years ago to promote an exchange of information and ideas on the science, practice and organisation of medicine, is an ideal home for the Debating Matters National Final and we would like to thank all involved for agreeing to be our host this year.
We would also like to thank the competition’s prize sponsor Hodder Education for their continued and generous support of Debating Matters.
