In collaboration with Barts OG Soc

Are you interested in what the Specialised Foundation Programme is and how to get involved? Come along to a talk by the wonderful Dr. Holly Egan (SFP FY2) as she talks about her experiences of the Specialised Foundation Programme in Gynaecology, specifically in the field of Gynae-Oncology.

Dr. Holly Egan is an Academic Foundation Doctor at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, currently on her research rotation within Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Her work focuses on early detection of ovarian cancer, particularly
the role of extracellular vesicles and glycosylation. As part of this, she recently undertook a fellowship in the United States, where she worked on gaining skills in EV isolation and characterisation.

During medical school, she developed a strong interest in women’s health and oncology, which led her to pursue an academic pathway that integrates research, clinical work, and teaching. Outside of research, she is passionate about medical education and mentoring students interested in academic careers.

In her free time, she uses social media () to document her journey through academia and clinical training, aiming to inspire and demystify the world of academic medicine for others.

Date: 10th November 2025 at 7pm
Link: Will be sent out the day of event to all sign-ups!

Certificates will be provided!
