The future of the MRCS and FRCS - Trainees questions answered

23rd June 2020

Overview

As a result of COVID-19 and as all trainees know, examinations were suspended by all four Surgical Royal Colleges back in March. There is still uncertainty regarding the recommencement of all surgical examinations. This webinar will explore the prospects of hosting the MRCS & FRCS later in 2020 and also the possible changes to the delivery of the exams in future years.
