Free General UK Medicine Events

I am a medical registrar working at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.  

I have set up a website to inform medical trainees about free general medicine events taking place around the UK. 

I have also provided links to free presentations from recent medical conferences. 

I thought you may be wish to let trainees in general medicine in England know about this resource.

Kind regards,

Pira Saravanamuthu
