MRCGP Prep Course
Attached is a short flier for the next MRCGP preparation course to be held at the Education Centre at the Princess Royal University Hospital next Spring.
This course is now being held just once a year and we hope that by starting it early we shall give candidates lots of time to prepare and practise good, examiner-friendly techniques!
I would be most grateful if you could share this information with all your trainers and registrars, in case they would like to attend.
THANK YOU and Happy Christmas!!

4. USEFUL THOUGHTS
Richard Smith, past editor1 Thoughts for new medical students at a new medical school
1 BMJ, London WC1H 9JR rsmith@bmj.com
“I asked the students when I spoke to them, "What was the greatest invention of the 20th century?" Was it quantum mechanics, aircraft, penicillin, the atomic bomb, the double helix, the randomised controlled trial? I suggested (slightly tongue in cheek) that it was D W Winnicott's "the good enough mother." (Actually, it was jazz.) The attempt to be the best mother in the world, the best neurosurgeon, or the best medical editor will end in tears. Being a good enough mother is to be a good mother, whereas the attempt to be the best will guarantee that you won't be (indeed, you may be a highly damaging mother). Similarly, you should aim to be a good enough medical student and doctor.”
