Courses

Here are a range of medical courses and examination information from Qualmed and external organisations. We have also included presentations from our courses.

The Medical courses that have been run by the Quality Medical Systems Consultancy are as follows :-


The Fast Track Course:

The Fast Track courses ran six-monthly from 1991 until 2001. They were designed to offer an intensive week of general practice skills to trainees (later registrars) who had missed a lot of their VTS half-day release sessions.

At first many SHOs, whose consultants had not allowed them to go to the VTS, attended. Later the proportion of practice year registrars rose, and there were retainees and returners and doctors coming back to practice after illness.

We began in Epping, but later transferred to the leafy splendour of Wansfell College in Theydon Bois. The Fast Tracks remained popular to the end, but finished when Dr Reed Bowden was forced to concentrate on other work.


The Fresh Start III Course will follow in the near future...
