Lectures
The postgraduate medical centres run a series of regular lecture programmes on a term-by-term basis.
GP lectures
During term time, GP lectures are held on a weekly basis. The lectures provide clinical updates to local GPs plus hospital staff. See GP education and events.
These lectures count towards your continuing professional development (CPD), and following each lecture, the postgraduate medical centre sends out CPD certificates electronically so that they can be uploaded to revalidation portfolios.
Special lecture series: PGMC GP webinar series
The Epsom and St Helier Medicine Team and the Surrey Downs GP Tutor are running a series of lunchtime talks provided by hospital consultants to Sutton and Surrey Downs GPs. The timetable for the next series of lectures will be published on this page soon.
Virtual hospital lectures
During term time, hospital lectures are held on a weekly basis via Zoom. The lectures provide general updates for hospital doctors and other healthcare professionals. The Winter Term Hospital Lecture Series will be available shortly.
Recordings
Contact Debra Gent (Post Graduate Medical Center Administrator) at: debra.gent@nhs.net to access the recordings of previous Hospital Lectures.
Virtual grand rounds
Grand Round lectures are held on a weekly basis every Thursday via Zoom .
St Helier Grand Round run from 8.30am - 9.30am and Epsom Grand Round run from 1pm - 2pm.
Grand round lectures consist of interesting case presentations and are aimed at an audience across all specialties and grades. Contact Nevena Hristova (GP Training Scheme Coordinator) at n.hristova@nhs.net or esth.grandround@nhs.net for the meeting link and the lecture topic details.
Grand round presentations
Grand round presentations, held at both Epsom and St Helier, are being catalogued by the Library and Information Services. The aim of this is to improve the sharing of medical expertise across both hospitals to inform patient care and enhance our clinical practice. We hope this will be of particular benefit to our doctors in training.

Due to information governance, the presentations are only available internally to Epsom and St Helier staff and patient information may have been removed from the original presentation, to comply with information governance.
Opening a presentation: If the presentation has been made available by the presenter there will be a note of the file address in the catalogue record. Available presentations are stored on an ESTH internal drive and can only be accessed from a Trust computer.
Requesting a presentation: not all presentations have been made available. If you require a presentation which has a catalogue record but no file address, please contact the author.
The catalogue is maintained by Library and Information Services, please contact Hirson Library for more information (esth.hirsonlibrary@nhs.net).
Literature search to support a case presentation
The Library and Information Service can carry out literature searches across a range of healthcare databases to find evidence-based information relating to cases presented at the Grand Rounds.
