In response to feedback from trainees and part of BTOG’s work to provide resources for trainees, BTOG is pleased to launch the ‘BTOG Journal Club’. The target audience will be medical trainees of all grades including medical students, junior consultants and allied health professionals. It will be available as a benefit of BTOG membership and therefore participants must be a BTOG member to participate. If you forward this information to trainees not yet BTOG members, they can easily join BTOG here.
BTOG is proud to bring you a regular virtual journal club on the latest trials in thoracic oncology facilitated by experts and discussing all things from trial design to results interpretation and their implications for clinical practice. This is a fantastic opportunity to discuss landmark trials with experts and peers and definitely not one to be missed!
Our first BTOG Journal Club is on Thursday 24th June at 17:30 – 18:30 where we will discuss CheckMate 743 investigating the use of first line ipilimumab and nivolumab in mesothelioma.
Moderator: Professor Allan Hackshaw, Professor of Epidemiology & Medical Statistics, Deputy Director, Cancer Research UK & UCL Cancer Trials Centre
Invited Expert: Dr Riyaz Shah, Consultant Medical Oncologist, Kent Oncology Centre, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
BTOG Trainee Representatives: Adam Januszewski, Higher Specialty Trainee in Medical Oncology and Honorary Clinical Fellow, Imperial College London and Helen McDill, Respiratory Registrar, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital
In order to be fully interactive and maximise the educational value there will be limited spaces so trainees should please register now.
Participants are expected to:
- Sign in on time (giving adequate notice if unable to attend)
- Read the journal article prior to the Journal Club
- Consider the pre-session questions in preparation
- Contribute to the discussion
- Give constructive feedback on the Journal Club
We will send out further information including a PDF of the article, pre-session questions and how to join the Zoom meeting on or before Friday 18th June to successful participants and all attendees will receive a certificate of attendance after giving feedback.
