Recent advances for retired doctors
Wednesday 9 December 2009
Venue: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE
The aim of the Recent Advances for Retired Doctors series of conferences is to provide an update on a variety of important medical conditions, and topical issues of general professional interest. The content is designed as a refresher for retired doctors but will also be suitable for doctors who have been temporarily out of medical practice. By the end of the meeting, participants will have gained knowledge about current approaches to treatment of the conditions considered in the programme.
