The Management in Medicine (MiM) Shadowing Programme provides medical students, doctors in training, postgraduate students and others with an interest in healthcare management, with an opportunity to shadow a senior manager in healthcare, or social services for approximately two half-days. The purpose of the shadowing is to give those working or interested in healthcare an insight into the activities of managers, how they go about those activities, and the issues on which they work.

During this event, Dr Nicholas Hicks will explain what is expected of you if you apply to the programme and are successful. You will also have the opportunity to hear from previous shadows about their experience of the programme. The programme is competitive and priority will be given to those who attend the launch on 6 November.

In early December, potential Shadows will then be invited to apply, stating their preferences for the shadowing placement based on the information provided. There are a limited number of places available and the application process will be competitive.
