On behalf of the organising committee, we thank everyone for making this year’s Resident Conference at King’s College London an undeniable success.
This wasn’t just a conference - it was a powerful celebration of learning, leadership, collaboration, and community.
We were inspired by exceptional speakers including Prof Mumtaz Patel, Dr Shumontha Dev, Miss Pallabi Shakya, and Mr Roland Fernandes, with dynamic discussions led by Dr Mohan Thapa and Mr Santosh Bhandari.
Our resident doctors shone brightly through outstanding oral and poster presentations, hands‑on workshops, and rich academic exchange.
