v) The Upper Hand Podcast (any podcast provider) – 2 well known hand surgeons in St Louis talking about hand surgery.

Revision aids

The following podcasts were recorded during my time revising for interviews and exams across the years. They are intended to allow the user to have a flow of information while on the move, to minimise downtime in the run up to exams. As such there may be occasional errors, or there may be relevant literature updates which have not been included. They are therefore intended to compliment your revision if you find this type of method useful, but I would encourage you to cross-correlate the information with your own reading.

You are welcome to use them for your own revision, but they should not be used in any formal capacity without permission. I have tried to reference the material where relevant in the text that accompanies each podcast.
