The MBChB lecture programme for third-year undergraduate medical students is a core aspect of the hospital placement experience.

The introduction of the Lecture Series allows students the option to access structured lecture teaching remotely. The impact and the surge in remote learning resulted in fewer opportunities for face-to-face lecture-based teaching and has reinforced the demand for a wider scope of digital lecture resources.
