Chertsey FRCS Course

Course convenors: Prof. Mohamed Imam, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon. Mr Tony Antonios, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon.

This is possibly the oldest FRCS course in the UK. It was originally started by the renowned Alan Graham Apley (1914 - 1996), in 1948 and he taught and chaired it for 15 years.

Hosted at the historic Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Unit in Chertsey, Surrey, this course has prepared generations of orthopaedic surgeons for their final exams. It covers all aspects of orthopaedics, with a particular emphasis on vivas and examination techniques. Lectures are designed to address the essential points of each topic, helping candidates enhance their responses with key "buzzwords" and insider tips to master the exit exam.

The course includes:

• Interactive discussions: Engage with faculty to clarify concepts and refine knowledge.
• Clinical case presentations: Focus on examination techniques and practical application.
• Mock examinations: Experience viva and case scenarios in a real exam setting, followed by instant feedback to improve performance.

Participants also benefit from direct access to an experienced faculty, comprising consultants and senior trainees who recently passed the exam and are eager to share their insights and strategies.
