Join us in our second MRCS preparation webinar where we will hear all about the basic neurosurgery knowledge necessary to pass the exam. This will be presented by Miss Sobiya Bilal.
Neurosurgery MRCS Part A Course
Summary
Join us for this truly interactive and engaging interactive virtual teaching session conducted by Ms Sovia Bell, a neurosurgery specialty registrar at Royal London Hospital. Targeting medical professionals in all areas of expertise, this session chiefly focuses on neurosurgery and traumatic brain injury from an MRCS exam perspective. It offers an insightful look into the fundamental aspects of neuroanatomy, clinical significance of neuroanatomy, ICP (Intracranial Pressure), and Monro Kelly Doctrine. We will also delve into the common types and management strategies for head injuries, with scenario-based practice. Participants will have the opportunity to pose queries throughout the session via the chat. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn from a seasoned educator who has been recognised by the Remar University of London with a nominee for the Excellence in Teaching Award.

Mhm. Hi. Can you hear me? Oh, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I can hear you. Amazing. Great. How are you? I'm good. I am at a conference so I'm moving the conference. Spend some time out. Oh, you had a conference? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Um, but I it's fine. I mean, I just finished them back now. Wow, a long day for you. Yeah, I know. What is this? Um, so this is more about the products that we use for Hydrocephalus MS. I don't know if you know about them. Oh, ok. Ok. Yeah, it's one of the. Right, right. I see. Yeah. So how does this work? You just, um, I just put on my powerpoint and you just share it on, is that how it works? And then I just, can you see a, uh, a rectangle with an arrow at the bottom of your screen right now? Rectangle? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you try to click on that, does it let you share your screen? Uh let me just check. Uh can you see it now? Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, I can see it. Brilliant. Fine. So I wouldn't be able to see you while um sharing this. Is that right? Um, I don't think you can. Yeah. And also, uh, just want to let you know that the participants can't really speak, um, they're able to type in the chat so you may have to go back and forth if you wanna ask him any questions. Sure. So, at the end, how does it work? Do you read out the questions for me or? I just, I just read them out myself. Uh, it might be you, are you able to like, swipe to a different window? Oh, yeah. And have a look at the questions and I'll, I'll let you know, I'll let you know if there are any. Pardon? Can you see my slides now? Yeah, I can. Yeah. Yeah, I'll like, I'll keep a look out. Um, so, I mean, if you're able to see my, I'm just, I'm just wondering so if you're able to see my slides now? Ok. Fine. Yeah. II get what you mean. Yeah, that's fine. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. Um, ok. So any other thing I wanted to ask was like, oh, fine. I'll, I'll, uh, I can, I can catch up with you at the end of the, uh, lecture. Is it possible to take five minutes when the parts out? Yeah. Sounds good. Sounds good. All right. So I'll quickly introduce, um, introduce you and, yeah, uh uh, then you can start your teaching. So, Miss Sovia Bell is currently working as a neurosurgery special specialty registrar at Royal London Hospital. She has had a great passion for teaching since an early age after becoming a member of the R CS Edinburgh in 2020 in 2020 she has been a teacher for M SE Surgical Sciences and has had experience teaching students worldwide. She has also been part of the international MRC S preparation programs, helping students globally prepare for their exams. Recently nominated for the Excellence and Teaching Award by Reamer University of London. She is keen on contributing to neurosurgical teaching and acing neurosurgical education across the UK and globally. She has also been volunteering with the New York based NGO small train over three years and has experienced practicing surgery across different continents including Asia Europe and America. For the past seven years. She hunted multiple students to relocate to the UK for further medical training as well as students within the UK, aiming to enter neurosurgery training. She's eager to continue her mentorship through UK P RC lectures. So without further ado let's have severe, there was like uh a teaching on neurosurgery. Thank you so much Kylie. So um welcome everyone. Um today, I would um mainly be talking about neurosurgery, particularly focusing on traumatic brain injury when it comes to MRC S exam. Uh Neurosurgery is not one of the biggest topics but does cover quite a significant portion. And normally, uh what happens is that it's more important when you give your M CS part B exam because at that point, you'll be having a station which will be dedicated to neurosurgery and most of the times and most of the center, um this is usually about the traumatic brain injuries or the questions will be circulating around them. It's also very, very important to know about the neuroanatomy. Although the MRCS focuses on typical neuroanatomy, which is very important for you to know um on day to day basis. Um if you are a year one registrar in any surgical specialty, and you have to make a referral, you need to be sort of like, well worse enough and to be able to um make the appropriate referrals, be able to use the language of neurosurgery when you're doing a referral from your surgical specialty or if you end up in neurosurgery, you know, the basics of neurosurgery to begin with. Um So in today's lecture, essentially, I'll be speaking very briefly about the gross neuranatomy because obviously 60 minutes is not enough for me to go in deep details. Uh But what I try to do is correlate this neuroanatomy with the clinical significance of the neuroanatomy and why it's important in day to day clinical practice. Um Then I'll also take you through uh ICP and Monro Kelly Doctrine around which all the um acute neurosurgery revolves. And throughout the lecture, you will hear about this line a few times where I say time is important. Um towards the end, you will understand why I'm essentially saying this line again and again. Um because in your surgery, if you take care of time, when the patient primarily presents to you, you mostly most of the times sort of like are able to prevent the secondary brain injury and um not just save life, but also give a good clinical outcome in your surgical patients. Um Then I'll be talking about the head injury and common types and management, um like brief management of these head injuries and then we will be uh practicing some scenarios um which are mcs related. I've just got a couple um but I'll be happy for you to ask your questions as we go through the lecture. Um I'll keep checking the window for any questions if they pop up and uh try to answer at the end of every topic. But if I feel like um it's taking longer than uh how much time I'm allowed, then I'll just cover all of them at the end and try to answer as many as possible. Um So thank you. Sorry to interrupt. My name is I'm from the Metal Support team. Your slides aren't moving. Um Yeah, I just left it there. So my next slide I'll move. Now, are you able to see this one? Er we can see the we will cover slide, sorry, you can see just this one, just the we will cover slide, we will cover. Yeah, and now can you see the layers of meninges and no, we can't. Can I check? Did you click share entire screen? Mm I have. OK. So just try to share again. Bear with me a second. Um Are you, are you able to click on present a full screen? Yeah. Uh Bear with me a second. All righty Kina. Are you able to go into full screen? Are you able to see it now? Uh we're not seeing it in full screen now and not in full screen. Let me just check, try again. Can I check? Are you joining from a Mac? Is this? No, this is not a Mac. Uh Can you see it now? And we can't see it in full screen? No, uh not sure how I can do this full screen. Bear with me a second. Let me just check if I can do it this way. No, no, unfortunately not. But we can see you move the slides when you like click on them individually, you go out of full screen and then click on the each slide individually on the bar on the left. We can see them as they move I think. Bear with me a second.
