Thursday 15th July, 5.30pm, Wing Tat Lee Room

We have secured Dr Mike Roddis BSc MB ChB MBA FRCPath from Healthcare Performance Ltd to give valuable tips and advice about the new FY1 application form. As well as being an excellent speaker, Dr. Roddis has prepared a very detailed talk including real examples of questions and past answers and will cover many aspects of the new form for our applications. There will also be an open Q&A session.

This event is sponsored by Wesleyan Medical Sickness so there will be goodies, and quite possibly snacks.

I hope to see many of you there,

George Chapman
