Project Groups

Led by junior doctors, there are now 5 independent SJDA UK projects. The different projects cover a range of activities, including career advice, adapting to the NHS, advice on living in the UK, and much more.

Any member can propose an idea for a project and if it gains support by the members they can form their own team as long as it is in line with SJDA-UK goals.

Admins group

Composed of members with extensive experience in organisational work to help other members conduct their projects and coordinate different activities. This group was elected in the first general meeting, Mancheter, September 2017.
