SHO Teaching<br />

Formal Clinical Teaching<br />

We run a five week intensive programme of bedside tutorials three times per year, January/February,<br />

May/June, October/November. These courses are aimed primarily, but not exclusively at the MRCPI<br />

examination. These tutorials are all consultant provided and take place at 5.00pm to maximise attendance<br />

and to allow SHOs in peripheral jobs to attend. Consultants are asked to focus on a short case format (see<br />

page 8 of the Postgraduate Medical Training Booklet).<br />

At the end of the course feedback from SHOs as to how the course could be improved is analysed. We use<br />

the Pyramid discussion method which has recently been successfully implemented for our undergraduate<br />

students.<br />
