What delegates in London said

"Just wanted to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed the BMJ day on 16/5/08 on Musculoskeletal Medicine. The thing that I liked was it was kept simple, relevant and you were not made to feel stupid if you had forgotten the fundamentals- like how to examine a knee! It was really a worthwhile day and I loved having the book to refer to in my surgery."

GP, London

"Thanks again for a brilliant course - I found it very stimulating and interesting - you do really seem to excel at finding good speakers and as I've said before it is excellent to attend a course specifically directed at GPs."

Dr. S. D., Manchester

"Would have appreciated more time on the shoulder management as they tried to cram a lot into the time available. It is a huge workload for GPs so worth getting right. As it was it was probably the best and most useful talk."

Dr. J. W, Midlands
