BMA Scottish Conference (Glasgow)

Following the success of the inaugural BMA Scottish conference in 2018, we are delighted to present “Doctors under pressure: Supporting the profession in Scotland” – providing doctors across Scotland with the opportunity to gain insight and explore strategies to improve the quality of their working life.

This is your chance to meet your peers and hear from leaders of the profession about the future of medical care in Scotland, to better understand how the pressures within the NHS and of modern medicine impact doctors, and how doctors individually and collectively can manage and mitigate this to improve their wellbeing and professional fulfilment. You can take part in a wide range of insightful workshops addressing the many facets of doctors’ working lives and wellbeing today, understand more about your contracts, learn about pension developments and how to avoid the pensions tax trap, how climate change is a critical healthcare issue, medical volunteering overseas and support from NHS Scotland, as well as hot topics in medical ethics.

The range of learning opportunities on offer should provide a worthwhile contribution to appraisal and revalidation. CPD accreditation has been applied for.

Attendees will have the chance to engage with senior and elected members of the BMA in Scotland to find out about the work that the Association does and gain a better understanding of the BMA’s representative structure and policy-setting process. Find out what we can do for you, how we can represent you, and how you can get involved.
