elearning sessions
Each elearning session is a self-contained 20-minute piece of learning that starts with learning objectives and ends with a summary and questions. Content is delivered using interactive formats.
On completion, feedback is required and then a PDF certificate can be produced. Certificates may be used to support appraisal and training. CPD points are available.
The curriculum is available here.
Virtual patients

Question banks
20 questions may be pulled at random from a selected part or all of our question bank. Once the 20 questions have been completed, a score will be given and the correct answers given.
Repeated attempts will generate different questions.
Formative tests
Annual formative tests in Neurology and Neurosurgery are available in April/May. Candidates complete a 100-question test, a score is presented immeadiately, and after the test period the correct answers and average scores across peers are made available.
Certificates of participation are produced. The score achieved is not on the certificate as these tests are strictly formative and may not be used to assess a trainee.
Learning paths
Indices of selected content show users which sessions are recommended. Learning pathways reflect specialty curricular.
Bibliography
These bibliographies bring all the key references for each section into one place.
This section is a "wiki", which means users can add or edit key references they feel are missing or incomplete.
