Just to let you all know that the medical and surgical society QUB Scrubs is now taking bookings for our Emergency Medicine Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday 9th & 10th March. The conference is going to be held at the Medical Biology Centre at Queen's University Belfast.
The conference is the highlight of our calendar- it's a national conference tailored specifically for undergraduates. It is a 2 day event, with delegates coming from all over the UK and the Republic of Ireland as well as from Queen's. It's not just for students in their clinical years either...it is a fantastic learning opportunity for students from all years, so why not come along to learn, to present your research and have some great craic with other medical students from all over the country?!
FULL DETAILS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE BUT HERE IS A BRIEF SUMMARY BELOW!
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Day 1 of the conference focuses on expert seminars- a huge number of specialties are covered from paediatrics to trauma surgery, and from management of oesophageal varices to acute poisoning. Day 2 is much more hands on- it is the practical skills workshop, focusing on things like ABGs, immediate life support, suturing, radiology (perfect OSCE preparation).
* Food is provided on both days
* Delegates will receive conference bags with goodies from Scrubs, Wesleyan and MPS who will be attending
* Spot prizes throughout both days
WHAT ELSE?
* If you have done an intercalated degree/original research/audit/literature review and wish to come along to present you work you can do so- just submit an abstract to us via email by Tuesday 9th February. Points are awarded on the UKFPO application for presenting work at conferences so why miss out? We are planning to have our conference party on the first night this year, so that anybody travelling won't miss it if they have to dash off for flights after the second day. We are planning to have the meal/party in Victoria Square on the night of the 9th March- all delegates are invited as well as the speakers.
HOW TO BOOK
If you like the sound of that you can book online via our website; the 2010 Conference page at www.scrubs.society.qub.ac.uk
However, we now have double the number of members than we had last year, so with limited places it would be a good idea to book quickly. We know not everybody will want to present research or go to the dinner, so you can opt out of those. At the bottom of the 2010 Conference page on the website just follow the simple instructions.
* In the first box select whether you are a member or non-member, and you can add the evening meal ('dinner') for an additional £10, or add a research presentation ('RP') for an additional £5, or both. * Please fill in the second box (just stick in QUB). * Regardless of whether or not you are having the evening dinner put any special dietary requirements in, because we'll be providing lunch on both days.
Payment is via PayPal, which is totally secure. Information about where to stay can be found on the conference page of our website!
If you have any general queries, or any problems booking just send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
We'd love to welcome you to Belfast in March!
