Over a three-year period, the programme covers the national curriculum in endocrinology and diabetes issued by the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board and is indispensable for those preparing to sit the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians’ Specialty Certificate Examination in endocrinology and diabetes. It is also an ideal opportunity for more established clinicians to hear the latest updates in the specialty.

Clinical Update is a three-day residential course comprises lectures and interactive workshops. The small group workshops (50 delegates maximum) are targeted to specific topics on the curriculum. They begin with a short introductory presentation by a leader in the field, followed by discussions centred around routine cases presented by delegates. The majority of the time is spent on discussing best clinical practice with these day-to-day scenarios.
