✨ Recollections and Reflections of an Old Doctor: A talk by Dr Iain Duncan

 

We are delighted to welcome Dr Iain Duncan for a fascinating talk reflecting on a lifetime in medicine.

 

Dr Duncan was born in the 1930s and graduated in medicine in Glasgow in 1959. After completing five hospital posts, he became a GP in South-West Scotland. In 1974, he was appointed Director of the University Health Service at UEA, a role he held until his retirement in 1999.

 

In this engaging and reflective session, Dr Duncan will explore three key themes:

 

  1. Recollections of medical events throughout his personal and professional life
  2.  Thoughts and reflections on current medical practice
  3. Advice on maintaining and improving the health and wellbeing of medical (and other) professionals

 

This promises to be a unique opportunity to hear stories and insights from decades of experience in medicine, alongside thoughtful reflections on how the profession has evolved.

 

👩‍⚕️ Open to all medical school years, doctors, and NHS staff, everyone is welcome!

 

Come along for an evening of history, wisdom, and reflection on the medical profession.

 

📍 Location: Thomas Paine Study Centre, Room 0.1 

📅 Date & time: Tuesday 24th March, 18:00

 

TICKETS CAN BE BOUGHT ON THE DOOR 

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
