The Evening Medical Updates programme covers specialities, presentations and conditions included within the Internal Medicine Training (IMT) curriculum. Within these, we aim to cover topics from a range of clinical settings including the acute medical take, outpatients department, community care and critical care. The programme also includes a non-clinical update covering a range of topics.

Topics are covered in monthly updates between September and June of each academic year, and each session consists of three 30-minute presentations.

Although aimed primarily at medical trainees, Evening Medical Updates are open to all hospital doctors, GPs, other healthcare professionals, and medical students.

Delegates are able to submit questions via Slido and we will cover as many questions as possible during the live session.
