In this conference special we learn about the various awards and bursaries available to help you attend the RCGP national conferences and give you a feel of what the conference is like. Join us at the RCGP National Conference 2014 in Liverpool where Dr Simon Glew interviews Dr Alec Logan, about his book, the “good GP training guide” and then hear the full AiT conference session: “Health economics and medical politics - a beginner's guide”. The panel was comprised of Professor Mike Pringle (President RCGP), Dr Clare Gerada (Former RCGP Chair, GP lead NHS London), Dr Helena McKeown (RCGP & BMA council member, Liberal Democrats Councillor for Salisbury, St. Edmund & Milford) and Professor Matthew Cripps (National Programme Director at NHS Right Care and formerly a CCG improvement director). In a unique style they discuss nine major topics ranging from “Who’s in charge of the NHS” to "The Daily Mail", “social media and political influence” and “patient expectations: unrealistic?”  Listen in and be inspired.
