Faculty of Medicine – Inaugural Lecture from Professor Jane Wilkinson: “How on earth did I get here?”
This inaugural lecture is a very personal account of what in many ways is a conventional career. In my talk I will acknowledge the people who shaped my career particularly with respect to my interest in medical education. The birth of my son changed my life profoundly. The experience of caring for and bringing up a young person with complex needs has not only had an impact on my personal life but has also shaped me as doctor both generally and specifically with regard to my specialist interest. Much of my talk will focus on undergraduate and post graduate medical training and how we can address the very significant challenges we face
