Late additions

A colleague recently asked me about some of the mind maps I created whilst I was preparing to take the Final FRCA.

I have found my original notebook and will gradually scan/photograph the mind maps and upload them to the site, starting with this first one which is to do with Thoracic Anaesthesia.

Remember, that each mind map is individual to it’s creator, so it may not be wonderfully clear to you what I’m trying to say with it, but maybe it will help!

Books…

Very exciting news, though hard work…

EI have been asked to contribute to a book on Pain Management.  As ever you can expect us to use the same care and attention to detail that you’ve seen on this website!

Watch this space…

Heard of OSPREs?

Neither had we, until we went on a communication course.

Our tutor was an Ex-policeman.

Apparently the Police have OSCEs as well, but they call them OSPREs!

Fancy that!

Good Luck!

Arrgh.

We wanted to wish everyone sitting the exam yesterday good luck, but sadly that didn’t work.

So retroactive Good Luck to everyone!

Now you have done the written, take a couple of days to chill out, and then, after the weekend, start straight back in on the work.

The worst thing you can do at this point is think to yourself “Well that was crap, I can’t possibly have passed!”

What you need to do is keep on top of work, and read through the Viva books, and let yourself be viva voce’ed at every opportunity.

Practice is the key here!
