Medical training in the edgelands - what can we learn from experiences in underdoctored areas?

09 Dec 2025
Hall 6a - Breakout 2
Patient needs, service requirements and training – are they all the same?

We will briefly share findings from our NIHR-funded research "Mapping underdoctored areas: the impact of medical training pathways on NHS workforce distribution and health inequalities" then facilitate an interactive session asking attendees to reflect on the benefits and challenges of medical training in smaller places with greater health need.
