Medicine: Stay or Go?
SATURDAY, 19th DECEMBER 2015 AT 09:00
Drewe Lecture Theatre, Reynold’s Building, Charing Cross Hospital, London, United Kingdom
Junior doctors are planning to leave the NHS en masse next year.
Will you be one of them?
Should you go or should you stay?
Where will you go? What are your options? Will you be too late?
How much could you earn? How much could you lose?
Stick with training or abandon ship?
Can other careers match the satisfaction of medicine?
Is it worth the wait or is the grass greener on the other side?
This is not a careers fair but an intelligent debate on what is important to you and the things you should be considering - and may be too afraid to ask…
Informative talks covering topics such as:
1. The changes and their implications
2. If you stay in the NHS, how to be successful and keep your options open.
3. How you can have a healthy lifestyle by doing research, locuming, or working abroad without closing the door on your training.
4. Job options outside of medicine and how to get into them.
5. How to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
6. Why it may be worth staying in the NHS after all.
7. Panel debate with experienced medical professionals: “This house believes it’s time to leave”
