National Resident Doctors' Conference
The National Resident Doctors' Conference is a two-day annual event held in collaboration with the Psychiatric Trainees' Committee (PTC).
Aimed at promoting exciting updates and events in psychiatry, and encouraging networking for resident doctors, it is a hugely popular conference which has sold out for the past few years.
Our theme for our 2025 conference is 'Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives', and covers a wide range of topics to assist Resident Doctors as clinicians and as individuals.
