Description

Third Postgraduate Orthopaedics FRCS (Tr & Orth) UK Revision Course 2016

The lecture programme was very intense with early starts at 7am and late finishes at 9pm.We had responded to previous candidate feedback from the last 2 years requesting a full on intensive revision course . Informal feedback with some candidates suggested a slight tweaking of the balance back was needed. Whilst realising that candidates want to cram in as much info as possible next year a start at 7.30am and finish at 8pm may allow the audience to more fully engage in the lecture programme without losing focus and attention

A reoccurring theme again throughout the 4 day lecture programme was positive feedback that the lecturers spent time explaining difficult topics rather than attempting to cover every fact at break neck speed.

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 well organised and ran smother

The course was assessed by the RCSEng quality assurance and accreditation team and the RCSEng Council approved accreditation for 3 years
