MRCPsych Training Days
In discussion with the Head of School, we have made the decision to temporarily cancel the MRCPsych Course until 23/4/2020 at which time it will be reviewed, due to COVID-19. Further information on whether we are able to provide some online material to study in lieu, and revised time table will be available in due course. Please report to your usual place of work instead of attending the course
All teaching is on a Friday 1000-1230 & 1300-1630 at Plymouth Postgraduate Medical Centre, Derriford Hospital, PL6 8DH.
It is mandatory to attend 70% of MRCPsych Course dates. You are not expected to attend when on night shifts, annual or statutory leave.
Please complete the attendance log page (available from the Education Programme Team) noting reasons for any non-attendance in the comments section. The attendance log should be uploaded to the 'Activities' section of your portfolio titled ‘ MRCPsych Attendance–Month Year’ as part of your ARCP evidence.
