 | Trainees in rheumatology: Understanding the wider world outside the NHS |
 | 05 December 2014 | Birmingham |
This meeting has been developed for SpRs, rheumatology trainees, and newly qualified rheumatology consultants, and is designed to help improve understanding of the structures in place across the NHS.
The event provides excellent networking opportunities and offers a platform to share experiences and best practice. Experts will also give insights in to the inner workings of the NHS.
Using interactive training methods, this workshop will equip delegates with invaluable knowledge on how to influence key stakeholders, such as colleagues, patients and commissioners.
