Doctors in Difficulty - Getting it Right

This event was held on Thursday 2nd February 2017 at the Mercure Norton Grange Hotel. The objectives of this event were to enable delegates to fully understand the contribution that HR and OH make to managing trainees with problems, gain more confidence in managing difficult conversations with trainees and fully understand the nature of doctors in difficulty during training and have a structured approach to managing them.

Over 50 delegates attended the event which consisted of workshops delivered by HEE (NW) Associate Postgraduate Deans Dr Shirley Remington, Dr Jo Rowell and Dr Andy Watson and presentations from the Blake Dobson from the GMC and HR and OH staff from one of HEE (NW)'s Lead Employers Pennine Acute Hospital NHS Trust.
