The annual IJCLE conference serves as a unique forum in which clinical educators from all jurisdictions can come together to discuss all aspects of clinical teaching and learning, to learn from one another and to share best practice. 

In 2010 for the first time the IJCLE conference will come home to Northumbria University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.  The dates for the conference are Wednesday 7th - Fri 9th July 2010 with optional pre-conference activities on Tuesday 6th July.  Home to fine Georgian architecture, the Quayside cultural quarter, unspoilt coastline and the world heritage sites of Durham Cathedral and Hadrian’s Wall, the region is a gem and the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne is a delightful cosmopolitan centre which embraces visitors from all over the world while retaining a strong regional identity.  The conference will be hosted in the new purpose built Law School at Northumbria University.
