What they said - comments from our delegates
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"Practical, case related talks. Demonstrations on models were very useful."
"Very relevant to primary care, useful update on recent guidelines and advice in management."
