Date: November 29th 2016 5:30pm until 9:00pm
Location: Fracture Clinic (Ground Floor Plastering Room), Great Western Hospital, Swindon SN3 6BB
For Core T&O Trainees
CT1s: This course date conflicts with the mandatory Physiology 2/Anatomy 3 training day (also available on 6th of December, 2016). The expectation from Mr. Mutimer and Mr. Coulston is that the mandatory training day obviously takes priority.
