I unfortunately ended up in the clinic with one of the registrars rather than Mr Smith himself. I don’t feel I had as good learning experience as a result as I know Mr Smith is very keen to have GP trainees there. If you can be sure he is in the clinic then I think this comes highly recommended, if not then perhaps not!

Comments

      1. Caroline F Yates 2012-05-16 20:07I sat in on this clinic but again this was run by one of the registrars. Mr Smith was in clinic opposite doing urodynamics. This was a good opportunity to see lots of prolapses,
