Our 2023 annual Medical Trainee Conference, organised by the Trainees & Members' Committee of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, aims to provide an interactive diverse programme, covering important topics relevant to the on-call medic.

This will be a hybrid event and we encourage in person attendance at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, which will offer opportunities to network and meet colleagues and speakers.

Our programme aims to cover challenging topics as well as highlighting new guideline developments and changes in clinical practice. We will start the day with covering challenges around interpretation of cardiac troponins, learning about findings not to miss on X-rays and when to call the on call Radiologist and an update on anaphylaxis guidelines.

In the afternoon, we discuss on call conundrums acute symptom management in palliative care, how to detect decompensated liver disease and how to identify the toxidrome.

This varied and engaging programme also includes our 49th Sir John Halliday Croom Lecture and our popular Clinical Lessons. The programme also includes a special Keynote Lecture.

All grades of medical, nursing, scientific staff, allied health professionals and medical students are most welcome. The event is free to attend for Collegiate, Associate, Foundation Members and Medical Students of the RCPE.

We encourage our audience to join the event in person for a day full of learning, networking and great discussions. In addition, this event will be live streamed and allows the opportunity for delegates to watch the presentations live, or at their convenience for up to 28 days following the original broadcast. Delegates can continue to register for on-demand access only after the live event has taken place. Please note that access closes 28 days after the original broadcast, not after the point of booking.
