The smooth running of the exam relies upon efficient support from the Faculty Examinations Department and the hard work of the board of examiners who have many responsibilities to the exam outside of examining the oral exam. The senior examiners have additional responsibilities so as usual I would also like to thank Dr Vickie Robson (Deputy Chair), the Chairs of the various parts of the exam – Jerome Cockings (Audit), Gary Mills (SOE), Jeremy Cordingly (OSCE) and Jeremy Bewley (MCQ) – as well their deputy chairs and all of the Board of Examiners – for all their hard work in setting and running this examination again.
