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!!
