Our Courses
We run two courses aimed at trainees approaching the FRCR 2B although they are suitable for trainees at any stage prior to fellowship.
Aunt Minnies for FRCR 2B
This two day course runs three times a year and concentrates on cases that you may encounter in your final FRCR exam.
The course is split into several components to ensure candidates remain refreshed and stimulated. There are modules, lectures and tips for the exam.

The cost of the course is £400 on the following dates:
May 21st and 22nd 2024

Mini-tests
During each mini-test the delegates have time to review 30 cases in each specialty.
FRCR 2B Course (2 day)
-
MSK
-
Paediatrics
-
Chest
-
Neuroradiology
-
GI/GU
Neuroradiology for 2B Course (1 day)
-
MRI interpretation

Spinal imaging

On call reporting for 2B
The cases are then used as a basis for an interactive teaching session which highlights the common imaging findings of each pathology.
Handouts summarising all the useful information are sent electronically to each candidate.
Workshops
Our workshops focus on some of the more challenging aspects of the FRCR exam with plenty of time allocated for discussion. They are on topics that candidates often find troublesome, particularly in the early stages of revision:
FRCR 2B Course (2 day)
-
"How to approach hand pathology"
-
"Non-Accidental injury and the differentials"
Neuroradiology for 2B Course (1 day)
-
"How to approach MRI in the viva"
The workshops get fantastic feedback as they really place emphasis on the common conditions that come up in the FRCR 2B exam.
They also allow us to recap the findings seen in the Modules.
Tips for the exam
In the 2-day Aunt Minnie course we run three short interactive sessions on the components of the FRCR 2B exam.
Here we set the scene and discuss the common pitfalls (and how to avoid them!).
