About this course
This on-demand course consists of recorded sessions from a live course that ran in September–October 2022. It is aimed at candidates preparing for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examinations, trainees in earlier years of training, consultant orthopaedic surgeons, and physiotherapists who wish to refresh and deepen their knowledge of spinal pathology management and gain CPD points.
The course is up-to-date and evidence-based, drawing on key papers and teaching from experienced spinal surgeons. It combines core clinical knowledge with revision support for vivas and MCQs, designed to build confidence and understanding of important concepts across the full scope of spinal orthopaedics.
