Is it lecture based or is there some practical?
Both Medicine and Surgery for Finals use a variety of educational methods. Short lectures present key concepts and tried-and-tested approaches to the examination. These are interspersed with slide quizzes, based on typical material from OSCE's, and videos of examination of different systems. The practical component includes opportunities to test your existing knowledge and skills - for example by listening to recordings of cardiac murmurs and by constructing a model of the inguinal canal.

Will there be actual patients there?
No, students practice examination technique in pairs - for example, checking peripheral thyroid status and visual fields. There are also opportunities to check-out your own examination systems against a gold standard, using videos of patients.

Dress code on the day? Do I have to wear a white coat?
The dress code is informal, white coats and stethoscopes are not needed.

Can you advise me on where to stay?
We suggest you contact the local tourist board in the area and ask for some advice on where to stay. Please do not leave it too late to book your accommodation.

What are the car parking fees?
In most cities it is easier to use public transport than to drive. No arrangements have been made for car parking, except in Manchester where subsidised tickets for parking will be available on the day (see map for details: Learning Centre, Medicine floor, Courses for Finals).

Do I need to bring lunch?
No, a cold sandwich-style lunch is supplied along with coffee, tea and mineral water at breaks and registration.
