Have a browse below to see what we’ve responded to, what we’re working on our key messages for the month!
Your chief registrars and other members of the MED team are working hard in the background on a range of issues highlighted (anonymously or not) via trickle.
If you have any issues, or indeed anything positive to shout about and aren’t sure the best way to do so, trickle is here! We want doctors in training to feel engaged, and engaged with, and we hope trickle can be a place to highlight what works and what doesn’t, and become the place where change starts!
You asked, we listened!
