AOT Conference

We meet once a year to discuss current issues in ENT and we welcome all ENT trainees of whatever grade to attend the AOT conference. The location for the conference varies each year. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the key issues affecting training, meet your fellow trainees and future consultant colleagues, and often to give feedback directly to those consultants making decisions that impact us day to day.
