Dr Kapil Sugand gains international recognition
June 25th saw the first meeting of a careers
and mentoring group for medics at all stages
of their careers. In attendance were parents,
teachers, OMTs and current students who met
to discuss a way forward for the group. The full
range of experience was covered, from students
about to move into the Sixth Form to medical
students, young doctors and Consultants. Our
aims are to provide a support network to help
medics through school, medical school and
subsequently in their careers. The meeting
was exciting and full of fantastic ideas for
the future. We will meet again in September
and are planning a convention in July 2014,

profession interested in joining the group, or being abreast of our
