Objective

Anatomy and Physiology teaching to support learning for ISCP curriculum and for MRCS examinations. Emphasis is given to continuing professional education rather than ‘coaching’ for the MRCS examinations.

Four  anatomy modules and four physiology modules are delivered on Tuesdays and it is advised that CT1s ensure that they combine anatomy and physiology teaching sessions.  Please note the times for teaching have now been changed.  The Anatomy module now commences 10:00 to 1:00 p.m. .   Physiology follows 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Organisation

Anatomy and physiology teaching are linked by dates. Doctors in Training  are advised to apply to take study leave for the whole day where events are on the same date. 

 

Preparation

Trainees are expected to read up and study on the module topics before attendance in order to gain maximal educational benefit from the teaching.

Refreshments

Core trainees are advised to bring their own refreshments or to make their own arrangements for food and refreshments during the gap between anatomy and physiology modules.   There are numerous cafes and sandwich shops in the vicinity that are easily accessible during the short walk from the physiology venue to the anatomy venues.

Travel

No car-parking arrangements are available at the University of Bristol and surrounding areas are for ‘residents-only’. There are NCP car parks available 10-15 minutes away by foot. Good bus and train links are available to Bristol and the University. Trainees are advised to plan their travel and if coming by car are advised to offer a lift to colleagues. http://www.bris.ac.uk/maps/directions/

Attendance outcomes

A record of attendance will be kept by the Deanery. Attendance details are provided to your Programme Directors and will be assessed at the yearly ARCPs.  Trainees will be able to  produce Self Service certificates for attendance at each module.

Trainee feedback

Trainees will be asked to provide anonymised feedback on each module. This is important for the School of Surgery to ensure that the standards of delivery and content of the teaching is maximized for Severn School of Surgery core trainees in the future.

Non-attendance

Failure to attend a module requires a trainee to complete an explanation form which is available on-line at the School website and is returnable to the school of surgery in-box, SevSurgerySchoolsw@hee.nhs.uk
