The 2009 PGI (Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India) UK Alumni was held on 26th September 2009 (Saturday) at Southport, Merseyside.

We had a very successful CME with 5 lectures from Mr. Loxam, Prof Dilawari, Mr. B Praveen, Dr. Shiv Chavan and Mr. Ajay Sharma.
 
This was followed by a very nice Indian meal and disco.
