Are you interested in paediatrics as a specialty? Would you like to hear from leading paediatricians on topics like emergency medicine, paediatric global health, and more?
Then join us on Saturday 21st February from 10:15-4:30pm for this year’s South West Paediatrics Medical Student Conference!
We welcome medical students and allied healthcare professional students from Plymouth, Exeter and Bristol university to this event. Tickets are £5 and all proceeds are going towards the amazing Bristol-based charity Cots for Tots, who provide support and accommodation for families whose babies are in NICU at St Michael’s Hospital. We will also be running a bake sale throughout the day, and a raffle with some amazing prizes up for grabs!
Please arrive promptly to the front entrance of the Queens Building at 10:15am so that we can register you and start the conference on time.
The morning part of the conference will include various talks from paediatricians including Dr Dan Magnus, a Consultant emergency medicine clinician with an interest in global paediatric health and medical education, Dr Fozia Saeed, a paediatric neurosurgery registrar, and many more… They will be sharing insights into their careers and advice on how to get involved in paediatrics!
We will be running a poster presentation competition during the lunch break, so please sign up using this link if you have a poster related to paediatrics that you would like to present: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6kkxOqMaxGS7gxU6mZRVx7HUOls1wMVsLbJap_65hDCG9Og/viewform?usp=header
During the lunch break there will be time to look at the poster presentations from medical students and visit various stalls including finding out about the NSPCC’s volunteering opportunities and hearing from doctors working in the medical research council. We will provide hot drinks and snacks throughout the day, but please bring your own packed lunch. There is a co-op and various cafes located a short 5 minute walk away from the Queens Building.
In the afternoon, you will be able to get involved in workshops lead by Paediatric doctors on clinical and communication skills, the work of the NSPCC, and global paediatric health!
We can’t wait to see you all there!
