There is a small but growing community of Filipino medical professionals practicing in the UK, a handful of which are either consultants or those in specialty training programs. This webinar aims to inform, guide and inspire other Filipino doctors who want to explore different specialties in the UK. Thus, we have invited Filipino doctors currently in various training programs — Paediatrics, General Practice, Pyschiatry, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Surgery and Medicine— to share their experiences. We hope to see you there!
