What they 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 how 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
"Having done 4 surgeries since this week, the musculoskeletal course has either improved my confidence in diagnosis or altered my management of foot pain, back pain and shoulder pain!" Dr L.G, Manchester
