FTSS - UK Webinar Series
The FTSS - UK webinar series are an important resource for trainees looking to consolidate their knowledge and understanding or keep up with the latest developments in their chosen field.
Each session usually lasts one hour and includes a lecture presented by an expert in their field as well as a Q&A session where attendees have the opportunity to ask questions.
All of the webinars are recorded and these recordings are made available in the College's webinar archive.
You can also view an external interactive e-poster by Richard Mifsud which showcases the RSA webinar series and asks viewers to share their ideas on how we can share this resource with future medical students.
