The Zayed Centre for Research (Falcon Outpatients) hosted its first MRCPCH Clinical Mock Exam on Saturday 15th February 2020.12 candidates took part in this diet and alongside the GLA, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof Sir Terrence Stephenson, Chair of the Health Research Authority, Paediatrician at UCLH and previous Chair of GMC and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and recent Past President of RCPCH, as one of our examiners. As usual we had our hard working staff from the Learning Academy lend expert support in organising and running this, our 9th exam, at GOSH. A huge shout to all the Patients/GYE’s (GOSH Young Educators) who made this all possible.
