We know that our course can be exceptionally tough and, ironically, we may forget that before looking after our patients, we have to look after ourselves! So, this page is a platform for you to vent about MVST, joke about 2nd MB and, most importantly, to ask anonymously for advice and support. With such a large group of medics at Cam, combined with the older years, there is sure to be somebody with the same questions or concerns that you have and anybody (you can choose to remain anonymous by replying through the site to your chosen Medfare###) with helpful advice is free to share their experience and help.
Please put in relevant CNs and TNs to help us when we post

Advice from 5th or 6th years please. if you are an anki user, is it worth making your own anki for conditions or is the Spranki enough? i feel like the spranki misses stuff, is sometimes outdated, and only makes you learn facts within the context of a sentence so you remember the card rather than the fact. but making anki for all conditions feels like too much work. thanks 🤓

Hello 6th years. I may have spoken to some of you about a certain Anki deck for the Law and Ethics SAQ paper. For many others; this will be the first you're all hearing of it.
In any case; I finally let go of the doom-scrolling and got round to re-ordering the cards properly. So; I present to you the drive link for the final version of the deck. Please do not take this as an exclusive guaranteed resource to pass the SAQ, but feel free to use it to get the core content of the SAQ firmly into your brain. It's an Anking/Spranki style deck so it should hopefully not be too difficult to follow.
Please circulate this round to other years/keep hold of it to give to your successors once they reach final year.
