Dr Stephanie Bown, Director of Policy and Communications said: "The conference exposes delegates to the distilled experiences of the first years of consultant life - things you can't find in any textbook, and which will prepare you for the success you have worked so hard to achieve.

"It has been hugely successful in the past and we hope to make it available as widely as possible in future years."

The day is divided into four main sections:

- Taking care of your team
- Taking care of business
- Taking care of yourself
- Taking care of patients
