Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. In classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

Description

Feedback

The viva and clinical days again went very well with overwhelmingly positive feedback. The clinical day was by and large another big improvement on last year. It was more organized and ran smother. There was one comment that we use the same patients each year which probably applies to around 1/3rd of patients. Faculty new to the course were in general paired up with more experienced faculty as a quality assurance process for the course and candidates.

 In summary the sixth course continues to evolve and improve on the previous year. It is not the finished article, but we slowly improve quality. Thank you all for your help in making it a great success.

 We would like to thank Northumbria University staff, QEH staff and patients, Newcastle Civic centre without whom the event could not have taken place as planned.
