Hi @FirstName!

Thanks for signing up :)

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.

Usually I run this session in person with a great deal of interactivity to try to give everyone as immersive and as challenging an experience as possible.

By doing this online we are taking on a level of complexity that has room for error. So like every good anaesthetist I want to PLAN, CHECK and RECHECK everything to make sure we have the best learning experience possible under different circumstances.

and again, I believe the most valuable thing for your learning is to keep this interactive, spend as much time teaching and challenging you to think on your feet and construct answers to the exercises I challenge you with.

I am confident I can give you a great learning experience BUT to do this I want everyone to follow the instructions to the letter to try and remove as much potential for risk and increase the potential for an excellent, immersive learning experience.

o It's always more fun learning with a study mate

o As you can probably tell, I really really REALLY want people to do this with someone else, practising talking out loud and collaborating. Learning medicine is often about sharing ideas, good communication and teamwork, so that is how we have to practice.
