Northern England & Yorkshire invite you to their joint symposium in North East England taking place in Newcastle.

The symposium will cover a range of medical topics aimed at supporting you with challenging issues that can arise for acute and general physicians.

The topics covered during this one day symposium will include:

Diagnostic reasoning
Acute renal
Cardiology
Liver problems
Managing acute palliative care
Delirium and bleeding issues
Hyponatraemia and toxicology

We have an exciting keynote lecture on Expedition medicine being delivered by Dr Alastair Miller. This will cover "Why is expedition medicine different from routine practise?" Along with "Phases of the expedition - pre, during and post"

The symposium is aimed at students, doctors in training and physicians who encounter general and / or acute medicine in their practice. We hope the day will support you in the management of your future patients, as well as providing some inspiration about doing medicine differently. We look forward to meeting you.

The RCPE North East England symposium will provide an opportunity to interact and network with your regional colleagues. This symposium provides valuable CPD and opportunities for learning and discussion for a wide audience.
