At what point did councils start actively getting away with leaving pavements thick with ice. Out hospitals are already under pressure. It’s been long enough folk have to venture out for supplies

Family time with loved ones who live abroad is a great food for the soul, watching my daughter belly laugh with my brother put all the nonsense from this week in perspective.

Having more model answers available and at no cost, the book has a limited number of older questions but that is it.
More flexibility of location would be nice, Edinburgh would be a far smaller faff for me to attend. Every medical school could handle the exam without any issue

There are several things that would make this process easier for trainees, early notice of day of the week we are to attend ( it cost £215 for a mediocre room and £150 for flights near the college due to proximity of notice for exam excluding fees of £700

My daughter will continue to miss time with mummy with increasing knowledge that I’m AWOL, revising basic science again and again because life goes on and these exams are all consuming.

I attended a revision course, picked up some kind of chest infection and had 5 days of fever between the course and my exam. Felt crappy the day of my exam and did my best to miss it by one *****^ mark.
