Medical and careers fairs
Medical and careers fairs can provide great networking opportunities for attendees. An advantage of attending is that you will have the chance to ask a range of professionals, including anaesthetists, any questions about your future career.
We support medical and careers fairs across the UK by sourcing local representatives and providing materials for the anaesthesia stands. It is hoped that the materials and advice given by our local representatives on the stands will help delegates to make informed decisions about their career path.
