Welcome to the Trainee Section
NTAM 2009 will be the 11th North Thames Anaesthetic Meeting, and the 6th time that it has been held in the beautiful Alpine resort of Tignes in France.
As a trainee you can expect to find NTAM 2009 a small friendly meeting which encourages interaction between consultants and trainees. I recommend that you volunteer to present in Tignes; it is an excellent opportunity to get an international presentation on your CV and the floor will give you encouragement and productive comments rather than a ferocious grilling. (I know, I presented at NTAM 2008!)
To see what we have presented in previous years have a browse through our "NTAM Archive" section where you will see copies of academic programmes. The lectures are downloadable when you become a member of the website and log in.
There is a trainee session open exclusively to you guys. The talks need be no longer than 20 minutes and there will be a substantial cash prize for the adjudged best presentation.
OK! What about money?
NTAM is fantastic value! If you are one of the first 8 trainees to book a shared apartment (4 pax sharing) and volunteer to talk; NTAM 2009 will cost you £680. You will have to sort out your own transport but with Eurostar leaving from Kings Cross it shouldn't be too difficult.
Speak to trainees who have been before! I am yet to find any who have had anything other than positive experiences. There are very few meetings like NTAM ! Get your study leave booked early. If you want to speak to Kate or I you can do so through the website or else just call me at work. (I'm at Harefield until November 1st then I'll be at the Royal London until we leave for France in January)
If you want some advice about talks then contact me and if I cannot help I can direct you towards one of the academic committee who will!
Don't just think about it…………..BOOK IT NOW !
