Going for Gold

Joint College SAS Conference

Provisional programme

At regional and trust level most SAS doctors have attended a range of short courses providing the basics in areas of medical management and teaching but what is the next step to make a significant change to your career? This may be a 1 to 3 year plan which requires careful preparation for appraisal and CPD planning.

This one-day conference will allow leading experts in medical leadership and education to give practical advice, ideas and inspiration for such career development.

Training and preparation to reach your goal will be the running theme throughout the day.

This event will also provide an opportunity to meet your College SAS representatives and to discuss how you can become involved in the work of the colleges.

Audience: SAS doctors from all specialties and Colleges
