Frequently asked questions
Surgical trainees, attending surgeons, medical students, doctors, and anyone who wants to convert their project into a well written paper. You should have a good command of spoken English.
Yes, to make it globally accessible. It will run to UK time and start at 09:00 and you'll need your camera on (for interaction and CPD). There'll be plenty of time for comfort breaks. The course will run 0900 to approx 1230/1300, with short 15 minute breaks built in (no long lunch break).
No problem. It's for beginners and people who have written before - it's the same skillset.
At present, we can't deal with cancellations.
It's live by Professor Aneel Bhangu. We won't do breakouts, we'll stick together and learn from each other. It'll be very low pressure and no-one will be embarrassed. Live editing YOUR papers is both fun and useful.
No! It's a relaxing course, there's no test, and there's no pass/fail.
