BSMS National Student Paediatric Conference: Growing Into My Shoes

Brighton and Sussex Medical School are hosting the 8^th National Student Paediatric Conference (NSPC) on the 4^th May 2019 at the University of Brighton. This year's theme is 'Growing Into My Shoes' with a focus on how children and young people develop an identity and how a child grows and becomes an adult. They aim to highlight some of the issues surrounding identity and its development, in order to empower the upcoming generation of healthcare workers and teachers to make a difference and inspire medical students and other health care professionals to consider a career in Paediatrics. There will be talks and workshops throughout the day delivered by a team of passionate experts who will be sharing their knowledge on this subject. They will then be celebrating the end of the conference and fundraising for their chosen charities Haydn's Wish and Rockinghorse, with a Black Tie Ball in the evening at the Jury's Inn Hotel featuring a three course meal and entertainment. The content is relevant to students in any healthcare discipline, so BSMS warmly welcomes colleagues from the Nursing, Midwifery, Paramedic Science and Education courses.
