FPAS: Joke of a system

They've been doing that one for a while now and still haven't managed to get it right? Not looking forward to being the 2nd cohort for the new system :frown:

Hello from Chichester! Having an ace week, although is still introductory stuff (meeting firm heads, practicing examinations on each other etc), feel like clinical years are gonna be ace. Went to first medical grand rounds this afternoon, all way over my head.

The city is great, not too busy but very nice and with a very good bunch here, all went to the coast today for a wander.

Only problem is lack of internet in our rooms (RAGE!!), so am in the education centre to get some.

I'm commencing the year on surgical rotation. An 'upper and lower GI' ward is my initial ward.

On setting out to get drunk with the Freshers I never imagined one of them would piss me off that much.

As in the lead aprons you have to wear in cath lab, orthopaedic theatre etc. I hate them with a passion.

Basically, for a given data reading, there is a lot of variance that could have interfered with the data. The confidence interval is a calculated range where you are 'confident' that, with a given probability (usually 95%), the true value lies.

The size of the interval varies with the usual causes of variance. Large sample sizes for instance, reduce variance and therefore reduce the confidence interval.

Generally speaking, if two data points have overlapping confidence intervals, you cannot say there is a significant difference between the two.
