About the Conference

We are delighted to be hosting the inaugural F|Docs National Conference. To ensure this event will be possible, we are hosting it virtually through Medics.Academy. 

The F|Docs National Conference is a virtual conference for all foundation trainees with opportunities to network, showcase their work and learn from and be inspired by prominent NHS leaders.

The current global pandemic has hugely affected the way foundation doctors learn, teach and are given opportunities to develop their portfolios. Overnight, the opportunities available for foundation doctors in medical education, leadership, quality improvement and academia have diminished. The F|Docs team is committed to finding innovative solutions to problems affecting foundation doctors, and it is one of the reasons why we decided to deliver this conference virtually.
There will be opportunities to showcase your work, network and hear from prominent NHS leaders.

This virtual conference will be held on Saturday 3rd October from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Registration on this conference page will ensure you have access to both the pre- and post-conference materials.
