Whitfield hosted another GP study day last Saturday. The new format for the study day is based around ‘Round Table’ discussions. The attendees rotated through 8 tables, for 30 minutes per table. We covered topics such as the Non-Operative management of Knee Arthritis, Wound Infection, Bunion Surgery, Metatarsal Pain and Plantar Fasciopathy. There was an excellent attendance and lots of chat in a very relaxed atmosphere.
I hope everyone enjoyed the day!
