Comments from the candidates Most useful part of the day 1 Viva Practice Graphs and Sim man OSCE Least useful: SimMan not so useful All are equally useful Most stressful OSCE Y-connector Stellate ganglion block Monaural Stethescope y axis represents number of candidates

Comments from the candidates Thank you very much for putting on the course - I felt it is extremely helpful to have a chance to practice these skills in as realistic environment as possible. Radiology session could be improved with better radiology examples - Very good course. Could we have X-rays printed on a question sheet. In future if you can conduct OSCE on one day and VIVA next day may be helpful to people who retake exam. y axis represents number of candidates

Comments from the candidates Anatomy lecture so late in the day made it very difficult to concentrate. Graphs and figure session good - could do that for longer time. Anatomy lecture well presented but too much to fit into time. Perhaps just concentrate on 2 or 3 nerve block techniques. Anatomy lecture handout/email/printed would be greatly . Good explanation regarding how SIM- man works Friendly and helpful examiners; hugely useful advice. preparatory email made the day less threatening as I knew what to expect . Very informative, lots of goof insight into what can be asked

Post exam feedback Just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you've put into the course. It really helped and I have passed! I passed the OSCE but failed the viva …… Many thanks for all the hard work you obviously put into the course; it was an excellent 2 days and really prepared me well with what to expect in the exam.  I'll be back next time for some focussed viva practice! Coventry course felt light, nice, well-organised

Post exam feedback Many thanks to you and your team for a great course I passed the OSCE and the VIVA. Thanks for all you help I passed. Many thanks for the confidence building of your course. Many thanks for making accommodation for just viva practice I am very grateful for your brilliant course, we did do stuff coming up on the exam indeed. and I passed.
