Comments
• Thank you very much. Excellent OSCE stations - very
realistic, well put together. • Anatomy lecture is good but will be better if more time
allocated to it. • Very good course - I would recommend it to others.• OSCE were very useful and were selected very
thoughtfully.
Comments
• Day 2 much better than day 1 - a lot more material covered, probably because of nature of OSCE and group Viva practice.
• Excellent course, it is very useful thank you all. • Very good and useful teaching. • Anatomy lecture very good. • Most examiners kind and helpful, more feedback at end
of OSCE would be helpful but understand time constraint.
comments
• Need more feedback on graphs. • Excellent constructive feedback on vivas. • Anatomy very clear and concise, would be helpful for
larynx anatomy too? Lecture on some nerve blocks too.• I understand there is a lot to cover in 2 days but
otherwise a brilliant course. • Give answers for clinical and scenarios. • Graph station is very useful, need more time. • Few videos of sim man scenarios and discussing them in
an interactive way would be useful.
Comments
• Good information with OSCE • Graphs & figures - perhaps a good idea to show the
correct graphs and figures at end of the question & answer.
• Scenarios on simulators on a printed sheet will be more helpful.
• Very helpful feedback in the physiology/pharmacology VIVA's.

• I attended both your MCQ and OSCE/VIVA course for primary FRCA at Coventry which was in one word excellent.
• I have now finally passed the Primary what a relief! Your course really helped change my revision to be more effective.
• I found the course very helpful and have now passed.

• I passed the OSCE and thank you for the course and advice.
• Just to say, your course is by far the best Primary FRCA course currently running (and I can confidently say that having been on the majority of courses going!)
