The "Top Tips for New Doctors" Evening Medical Update is an extra session as part of the Evening Medical Updates (EMU) programme. EMUs historically cover specialties, presentations and conditions included within the Internal Medicine Training (IMT) curriculum. Topics are covered in monthly updates between September and June of each academic year.

Although this "Top Tips” event is aimed primarily at medical graduates who have either just started their first hospital job or will be starting after August, Evening Medical Updates are open to all healthcare professionals and medical students. This event is free of charge to all.

This EMU is designed to provide you with tips and advice for your first year as a new doctor. Many of you may already be gaining valuable experience of working on the ward, we hope this event will provide some extra insight for your first year. The programme features four speakers with a personal knowledge of this important milestone in becoming a doctor.

Registration & Broadcast

This Evening Medical Update will be broadcast live with delegates able to view the talks live online from home or live from a participating live-link site (please see the Live-Link tab for a site close to you). The event will also be recorded and made freely available on our Education Portal afterwards.

Delegates will be able to submit questions via Slido and we will cover as many questions as possible during the live session, and any questions not answered will be done retrospectively and posted on our EMU pages.
