- Good to have a widespread topic coverage, with the online lectures running smoothly and without distractions
- I enjoyed the imaging, the cytology, MDT and the opportunity to ask questions without being rushed
- After this course I will be more confident when interpreting cytology and deciding on when to core biopsy
- I now feel much more informed and will be better supported in dealing with patients presenting with thyroid disease.
- A gained a real understanding of how the MDT works and Cytology/Histology perspectives
- Consolidated my own knowledge and practice and I now have a better understanding of biochem and radiology
