Lectures and organisation

Comments Non-intimidating Everyone very friendly and approachable Excellent lunch system s prior to course were excellent and informative Mock viva day was excellent Clinical SOE – good experience of real exam situations Excellent exposure to questions with plenty of practice

Comments More time for feedback if possible ECG lecture could be made shorter with handouts Found it difficult to not listen to other candidates doing exam at the same time in same room, but maybe this is how it is in the real exam?!
