Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2015 Feb;76(2):105-8. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2015.76.2.105.

Abstract

Practical procedures play a crucial role in clinical outcome. High proportions of Mersey trainees report a lack of procedural confidence despite the fact that the majority want to perform more procedures. Training has to be carefully analysed to address these shortcomings.
