Supporting overseas doctors in their transition to UK practice.
7- 8 April 2016, Royal College of Physicians, London
The transition to working in the NHS can be challenging; doctors must adjust to an unfamiliar training pathway and management structure in addition to the demands of clinical practice in a new working environment.
The RCP has developed the PROMISE (Practice of medicine in a safe and effective way) programme to support doctors who have recently started working in the UK or who plan to apply for an NHS post in the near future.
The inaugural course takes place in London on 7-8 April 2016 and will bring doctors from across the world together with facilitators from the RCP, General Medical Council and several NHS trusts. The varied programme is designed to develop understanding of NHS systems and ultimately improve the standard of care that patients receive.
Sessions will include:
- the structure of the NHS
- welcome to UK practice: ethical scenarios
- common acute medical problems in the UK
- sharing care with the community
- developing a career in medicine.
Price: £100
CPD points and attendance certificate will be issued.
