Events and workshops

Outreach events

The Academy maintains a rolling programme of regional events designed to bring together academic trainees, senior academics and other key representatives from the wider medical science community. The events are tailored to both complement and supplement support offered locally.

Outreach events include interactive sessions that provide trainees with the opportunity to:

  • Understand how to use mentoring.
  • Hear from funders about fellowships and grants.
  • Learn about policy developments.
  • Engage in open debate.
  • Listen to inspirational speakers.
  • Establish effective networks amongst peers and colleagues.

Mentor Development Workshops

The Academy offers guidance on how to establish effective mentoring relationships.  Mentor Development Workshops provide Academy Fellows, post-doctoral trainees and senior academics with the opportunity to:

  • Clarify the role of a mentor.
  • Explore the elements that lead to an effective mentoring relationship.

Information about forthcoming events

Academy Mentoring and Outreach events are developed based on feedback from trainees and senior academics.  We would be very keen to hear your ideas for topics and formats of future events.  Please email mentoring@acmedsci.ac.uk or call Mrs Colby Benari on 020 3176 2160.
