Sessional GPs Conference: All you want to know, all you want to ask

Date: Friday 23 March, 9am - 5pm
Venue: BMA House, London

Working as a sessional GP has its particular challenges, and this one-day conference aims to offer expert advice, practical information and guidance to support all sessional GPs in making the most of their careers. This conference will be of interest to any salaried or locum GP and will address the issues that matter to you, including employment rights, pensions, appraisal and revalidation, and making successful career choices. Delegates  will also be able to personalise the programme by selecting from a choice of breakout groups and have the chance to meet colleagues from around the country, discuss shared issues and concerns, develop networks and cascade information.  You can book your place and find further details here. If you have any questions, please contact BMA Conferences on 020 7383 6137 or 6923 or by email at confunit@bma.org.uk.   

GP Employment Law Courses 2012  

The BMA is offering three one-day courses introducing GP practices to key issues in employment law: managing the employment contract; managing absence and performance and managing disciplinary issues and dismissal. Full details including booking information, locations and dates are available here.

Keeping track of employment legislation, best practice and other human resource issues can be a real headache. With the best will in the world, you know you cannot be an expert on everything: that is why you have the BMA right behind you to give expert advice and support. However, it is important to understand the principles of employment legislation and practical management of people issues to ensure a good working environment and that you do not find yourselves facing a legal challenge. Registration is open to GP Partners or their Practice Managers and the registration fees are as below:  

BMA members: £130.00 including VAT
Non-members: £190.00 including VAT

Any practice manager wishing to attend will pay the same registration fee as their GP partner, depending on whether they are a member or non-member of the BMA. If you have any questions, please contact BMA Conferences on 020 7383 6137 or 6923 or by email at confunit@bma.org.uk.
