Overview

The next instalment in the "Professionalism in Medicine" series brought to you by the Recently Appointed Consultants Committee.

Doctors have many valuable skills in demand in many settings. In the busy world of the NHS, doctors can still find opportunities to take their skills to new adventures. Join us to hear from three doctors about their experiences working beyond the NHS hospital, and how they combine this with their careers and routine clinical practice.

Working in Global Health within the NHS
Expedition medicine and retrieval services
Humanitarian Medicine: What it is, and what it isn't

Target audience: While predominantly aimed at Recently Appointed Consultants (a consultant within the first ten years of their first appointment), the event will be relevant to all grades of medical, nursing, scientific staff, allied health professionals and medical students.

Organising Committee: Dr Mary Peirse and Dr Luke Yates, Recently Appointed Consultants’ Committee
