GENERAL INFORMATION

Participants

Compulsory for all CT1s  and CT2's (unless you attended last year).  

 

Each module physiology is run twice to allow choice for attendance. Please only book one option for each module. Each module only has places for a maximum of 20 trainees.  Please sign up to attend by 1st December 2020. 

 

Registration

Via the School of Surgery website events page.

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.

Dates

Four  physiology modules are delivered on Tuesdays.

 

Attendance and Outcomes

 A record of attendance will be kept by HEE. Attendance details are provided to your Programme Directors and will be discussed at the yearly ARCPs. Certificates will only be provided for each module to trainees who attend, therefore it is important to register to attend. 

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 once you have booked a space, requires a trainee to complete an explanation form which is available from the School of Surgery, contact SEVSchoolSurgery.sw@hee.nhs.uk if you require a form. 

 

Queries
