Dates of upcoming SCE exams

SCE exam preparation can be daunting if nobody in “your team” is studying with you. Also material available is vast and you can get lost without guidance.
But in Scotland we are lucky to be a small group of registrars and there is a big chance we are going to work as consultant together, so I guess we are a team already!
Distance can separate us but we can share educational material, link to guidelines, suggestions for book in this blog: https://ssgtraineesblog.wordpress.com/
