If you are thinking of a career in general practice, becoming an Associate in Training (AiT) of the RCGP is your next step on the GP training path. The Conference provides you with the opportunity to interact with AiTs and established GPs and also visit the many exhibition stands to get a feel for what is happening in general practice and how it is developing for the future. And what’s more, you can attend for FREE!*

As part of the programme at this year’s Conference we are delighted that Hull York Medical School (HYMS), with support from the University of Sheffield and University of Leeds, will be hosting a Student Forum.

Medical students of all ages are very welcome to attend the whole Conference but a specific stream has been developed by the GP Society at HYMS for those with general practice as their calling. Wherever you are studying, come and share hopes and fears for the future.
