With the support of the Northern Deanery and the EWTD team we presented a series of experienced and captivating speakers (including Mr Mike Farrar, Chief Executive, NHS North West and Professor Jacky Hayden, Postgraduate Dean, Northern Deanery) who drew from personal experiences to offer perspectives and proactive guidance on how a Jr Doctor trying to get involved in management and leadership might take a step forward.
The North West opened us up to an entirely new group of juniors and our ranks grew substantially. We will be returning there shortly to follow up on what was an evening filled with positivity and enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone that helped make this evening such a triumph.
Delegates said;
“All the speakers were excellent!”
“A really good night, thanks very much. Looking forward to the next one!”
“Very glad I made the effort to come along. Would recommend it to others.”
