Core Training Days 
We run monthly CORE teaching days that all trainees attend across the region. They are split between Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) and Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge (ADD)
The basic format is typically interactive talks in the morning and then OSCE based stations in the afternoon to hone clinical examination skills in small groups.
Overall Satisfaction through feedback for 2017 was 9.59/10 and it is an extremely popular and well attended program.
