Registration has now closed but places are still available.  Please contact the Programme Team if you would like to attend.

 

All Registrars, Specialty Tutors, Academic, Educational and Activity Supervisors in the South West are invited to this conference. This conference will take place face to face in Exeter.

The aim of the event is to take stock of the past year’s training activities whilst looking forward and planning for next year. Key points from the day’s discussions will be fed back to the Academy Board for consideration in planning for the development of the Specialty Training Programme in the South West.

The event will act as the 2023/24 annual update for Educational and Academic Supervisors to ensure they remain accredited.  Activity Supervisors are also invited to join. The day will be recorded for those who are unable to attend in person.
