What a great meeting!
The ASM at the RSM was a tremendous success.
Over 100 delegates attended and heard Dr John Jenkins' insights into the future of PMET. Janet Grant didn't dissapoint; she gave an amusing, academic and controversial take on competency based training - she is a true supporter of the doctor as the expert professional.
The workshops were well recieved and we aim to publish the data captured during the parallel session (the 'debate').
The posters and presentations were of a high standard, as always. This year we had a greater proportion of trainees as delegates than in the past - the future looks bright for SEA(UK).
A report will be posted on the wesite with some pictures for you to enjoy. The Newsletter will have futher details in the Autumn. The Members Area on the forthcoming new website will hold the Conference Booklet.
