Cambridge University Paediatrics Society

It’s conference day! We’re looking forward to welcoming about 60 students from across the East of England to our CU Paediatrics Society Annual Conference. Registration starts at 9:15- looking forward to seeing everyone!

Paedsoc is back with our annual conference- this year, we’re exploring the limits of care.

Highlights include
-3 excellent talks exploring paediatric palliative care, caring for premature babies and paediatric training pathways/portfolio building
-Oral presentations from our student winners of our abstract competition
-Aromi lunch- can’t go wrong with the best pizza in Cambridge
-Afternoon of hands-on simulation sessions run by current paediatricians

We’re welcoming students from all years from across the East of England- all you need is an interest in/curiosity about paediatrics!
