Feedback from Specialist Registrars is excellent. Thanks are due to consultant colleagues in the regional hospitals for the high quality educational experience that they are providing. This initiative depended on Dr Ian Hastie's leadership in his roles as Chairman of the Regional Training Committee and Regional Tutor in Geriatrics. Dr Ward has now taken over the Chairmanship and Dr Mark Cottee the Programme Directorship. He is also the Secretary of the Geriatrics Section of the European Union Committee of Medical Specialist.
Present objectives continue to be to define a curriculum for training across Europe.
Continuing education for doctors at all grades also plays a central role within the work of the St George's departments.
