Flexible Training Forum 2007

Flexible Training: too good to last?

This year's forum, 'Flexible Training: too good to last?', will bring delegates from across the United Kingdom together to explore a number of topical issues relating to the forum theme.

The forum aims to explore the issues affecting trainees such that they can maximise their time and their training. It also provides an excellent opportunity for flexible trainees to meet and find out information on a wide range of important and topical issues.

This year's forum will include keynote presentations from those working with and for flexible trainees, and delegates will have an opportunity to propose solutions for the way ahead for flexible training. The Forum will also provide an opportunity for specialty-based small group work with advisers from the Royal Colleges.
