ANNUAL DINNER
This is a formal annual event when the organisation takes the opportunity of inviting the dignitaries from the other medical professions and bodies like Royal Medical Colleges, The General Medical Council and British Medical Association. This is a highly popular event both for our members and our younger generation.
It provides a very enjoyable family gathering where friends and colleagues can find new friends and meet their old ones. It gives educational opportunities through various PGEA meetings. It is an enjoyable event to offer the members very entertaining programs like the Bengali Drama, musical events and variety performances. Overall it is an enjoyable occasion usually lasting three days.
This role is fulfilled by some senior members of the Association regularly providing honorary clinical attachments in hospitals for newly arrived doctors, before and after PLAB tests. The Association helps by putting them in the right track for initial jobs, at the same time being available for future support. BDMA considered and provided some financial support to some members and some non-members for the PLAB test.
