I applied for a general surgical training number and used this course, ranked 13th overall and got my first choice deanery (North West Thames). The content was clear and concise. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic, focussed, clear and thorough General Surgery ST3 preparation. I got my 1st choice location for training. There was particular attention to effective answer structure that I’m sure made me stand out at interview.
