Post-Graduate Course, Queen's University, Belfast

A FEW years ago post-graduate classes in general medicine and surgery were inaugurated by Queen's University, Belfast. These classes were confined to panel practitioners nominated by the Ministry of Labour (N.I.), and were attended with considerable success. This year it is thought that a wider sphere of usefulness might be given these classes, by opening a limited number of places to any general practitioners to wish to attend, and arrangements have been made with this object in view. The classes will begin on Monday, 16th, and end on Saturday, 28th September, 1935, and they will be conducted by the visiting staffs of the Royal Victoria and the Mater Infirmorum Hospitals, and the teaching staff of Queen's University, Belfast. The morning sessions, from 9.30 till 12 noon, will be confined to clinical study in the wards and out-patients of the hospitals. The afternoon sessions, from 2 till 5 p.m., will be devoted to demonstrations and lectures on the more theoretical aspects of medicine and surgery, to problems of public health, to pathology, bacteriology, and biochemistry, and will be held in the Institute of Pathology, Grosvenor Road, Belfast. Anyone interested in these classes may obtain further information from Dr. R. H. Hunter, organizing secretary, or Professor W. J. Wilson, Dean of the Medical Faculty, Queen's University, Belfast. The fee for the fortnight's course will be £5. 5s., payable in advance.
