NNUH hosts national surgery exams

Up to 130 trainee surgeons and 30 examiners from across the country will be descending on Norwich as the city hosts the Royal College of Surgeons MRCS examinations next week.

The MRCS clinical exams are taking place at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on June 20-22nd and are being held on Brundall ward, which is closed as part of the hospital's ward refurbishment programme.

NNUH thoracic surgeon and RCS clinical examiner Mr Wyn Parry said: “We are in the very fortunate position of having superb ward facilities at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital that are ideally suited for the clinical and communication aspects of the MRCs exams.

We first hosted these important examinations last November and the Royal College of Surgeons was so impressed that they have asked to host the national examinations at the Norfolk and Norwich again.”
