I was able to get actual practical teaching from professionals skilled in the field, instead of just studying from a textbook. Ethics and safeguarding are areas that are difficult to grasp from reading and UK ethics are not practiced in my country, so my knowledge/understanding has been very limited.
The focus on NICE guidelines was really helpful, generally medicine is medicine, and the management is not very different from one country to another, but these specific guidelines will make the difference between getting a question right or wrong on an exam.
