Additional Professional Development

Clinical Fellow post holders have enjoyed interaction with these enthusiastic trainees and have provided bedside teaching in addition to that provided by Consultants and Middle Grade Doctors. Clinical Fellows have organised mock OSCE in the 7th and 8th weeks of their attachment in preparation for their final examinations. This has been a mutually beneficial exercise.
