A brief overview of London Global EM Programme For House Officers of Pakistan from our Director - Dr Ash (Consultant Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine & Geriatric Medicine NHS UK)

Introduction

London Clinical Courses ( LCC) is the leading Emergency Medicine course provider in UK.

LCC  was established in 2013 with an intention to help  International Medical Graduates and non trainee doctors of UK and abroad to get familiar with UK exam and training systems.

We proudly claim that we have trained more than 5000 IMGs in UK out of them more than 700 doctors were EM physicians who passed MRCEM exam after attending our courses, our exam success rate is consistently higher than 80% , We have conducted 25 MRCEM OSCE courses and 4 FRCEM final OSCE Courses, our Last (4th FRCEM Final OSCE course had 100% success rate) we published our result on our face book page with successful candidates. 

Here it’s important to mention that most doctors who attended our courses were non trainee doctors of UK or overseas doctors who never worked in UK, most were from KSA , UAE , Qatar, Pakistan and India. 

We are the first Institute to conduct MRCEM FRCEM Courses in Medina during 2020, We have also conducted 6 MRCEM OSCE courses in Dubai with success rate of consistently more than 80%. 

We are connected  with 1000s Non Trainee doctors  therefore we are fully aware of challenges and weakness they have to overcome, we know they have no one to train them, no one supervises or guide them and no one takes their ownership, they struggle to progress in their career, Considering all these hardships and challenges what a non trainee doctor faces, Dr Ash and his team LCC has designed this unique programme mainly for non trainee doctors. Yes , It’s London Global Emergency Medicine Programme.
