First time attendees event - Tuesday 2 June 2026
If you have never attended a BMA conference before, there is an optional online training session in the evening on Tuesday 2 June that will prepare you for the event. This is an opportunity to discuss key issues, learn about conference procedures and develop motions to be debated during the conference.

The resident doctors conference is a full day event.
Agenda and motions for debate
You'll receive the agenda and motions for debate prior to the conference.

Submitting motions

Conference motions can shape the future for your union and profession. Read our blog to learn how an idea from first-time attendees at the 2023 conference became the remarkably rapid name change from ‘junior’ to ‘resident’ doctors.
