Neurology & Ophthalmology courses: Saturday 19 May 2007.
This is a one-day course providing focused teaching in neurology and ophthalmology. Neurology / Ophthalmology PACES will allow you to quickly update your neurological and ophthalmological examination techniques under exam conditions.

The course starts at 9.00 am and ends at 5.30 pm. The course includes Neurology stations, Ophthalmology stations, patients and practical demonstrations. The course content is targetted to the Neurology and Ophthalmology conditions commonly encountered in the MRCP PACES exam.

Candidates will rotate though sessions as follows:

There will be 24 stations, each lasting 15 minutes.

Half the sessions will feature Neurological, and the other half Ophthalmological cases.

The cases will directly reflect the types of conditions which come up regularly in the PACES exam itself.

Teaching is provided qualified neurologists and ophthalmologists

Candidates will be able to examine patients in detail, and will receive immediate feedback on performance.

The course fee includes tea/coffee and a buffet lunch.
