Very successful 2012 IAEM ASM held in Co. Kildare

After a number of years where the IAEM Annual Scientific Meeting took place at a variety of provincial venues, the 2012 meeting was held ‘within the Pale’. The meeting was shorter than usual because of the Association’s hosting of ICEM 2012 and took place at Carton House, Maynooth, Co. Kildare on Friday 19th October 2012 with the IAEM AGM held on Saturday 20th October 2012.
