Hello colleagues and friends.
This free on-line conference being held on 18th September is run by medical students, for medical students offering an opportunity to find out about getting involved in General Practice research.
In the past, students have told us they weren't aware that research happens in general practice - and certainly that they don't know how to get involved. This conference tackles both issues.
Congratulations to the winners Ellie Read and David Simmonds who entered a joint application from St George's University London.
