Eighth Postgraduate Orthopaedics FRCS (Tr&Ortho) Revision Course January 2021
10 Jan 2021
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
We are very sorry to have to inform you that we will need to cancel the Postgraduate Orthopaedics FRCS(Tr&Orth) revision course in January
It’s a decision we have taken with a very heavy heart but I think it’s the correct one. We really tried our best to make it happen but its unworkable
The amount of obstacles, restrictions and difficulties to the run a successful 7 day course with a 12 hour plus day is just too much with the current uncertainties and worries of Covid-19
There are huge lists of requirements needed such as disclaimers to sign, bubbles to form and group into ,social isolating etc
We were particularly concerned about a canddiate becoming positive on the course,
Patient involvement would be unrealistic and shouldn’t really be attempted.
The course in normal times has many challenges and difficulties and so in the presence of a pandemic the dynamics to organise would be very challenging
The final nail in the coffin was lockdown tier 3 and the uncertainty of when this will be lifted especially if going into the course with a continuing tier 3 grade
We have always maintained that our course runs best face to face and where never keen to go virtual.The course is high quality and that quality would be severely affected and standards would drop. We would like to thank you all candidates for their patience and strong support during these difficult times. We will be giving full refunds to all candidates
