Join us for our hugely popular in-person exam prep course. The course format will include a resource ‘library’ of over 30 pre-recorded pre-course talks on a wide range of cancers. Then in March, there will be 3 days of in-person, Multi Disciplinary Team style, live panel discussions of clinical cases, held at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
The pre-course talks will be available to registered delegates from January 2025, well in advance of the course, and will be available for 12 months after the in person element. In this way, we believe delegates will benefit from the close setting which the course has become recognised for, whilst still including the 'library' resource which has become so popular.
This course is primarily designed for trainees in Clinical Oncology at the start of their preparation for the FRCR exam part 2, and trainees in Medical Oncology at the start of their preparation for MRCP(UK) Specialty Certificate Examination in Medical Oncology, but often attracts a diverse audience. Consultants, SAS doctors and nurses have all enjoyed this course and described it’s value.
Certificates
All relevant events are approved for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). To receive a CPD certificate delegates must have completed the online feedback survey. The survey will close 28 days after the original broadcast of the event on the 18 April 2025, with certificates being issued shortly after this.
Certificates cannot be issued after the survey has closed.
