Accra to Sheffield: O&G specialty doctor on the path to consultant

7 years as an O&G specialist in Accra. Joined Sheffield as a Trust Grade, took MRCOG Part 1 in year 1, Part 2 in year 2, OSCE Part 3 in year 4. Now a Specialty Doctor working towards CESR.

Watch how UK consultants talk to patients before you copy their clinical practice. Communication is half of British medicine.
