FRCS (Tr & Orth) Examination Coaching
Pass the FRCS T&O with Consultant-Level Coaching
Structured, one-to-one and group coaching for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examination — taught by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who understands exactly what the examiners are looking for.
The Examination Demands Consultant-Level Thinking
The FRCS (Tr & Orth) is one of the most demanding surgical examinations in the UK. The viva and clinical components do not test knowledge alone — they test the ability to reason, prioritise, and communicate at the level of a consultant. Bone Mentor's FRCS coaching is built on that premise: every session is designed to develop the clinical confidence and structured thinking that examiners reward.
The Programme
How the Coaching Works
One-to-One Viva Coaching
Intensive mock viva sessions conducted by an experienced surgeon, replicating the format and pressure of the FRCS viva. Detailed feedback on structure, content, and examiner impression after every session.
Small Group Viva Practice
Structured group sessions with a cohort of FRCS candidates. Peer learning, shared feedback, and the experience of performing under observation — a critical component of viva preparation.
Videos
Targeted preparation for both the clinical and trauma viva components. Cases are drawn from real clinical practice and calibrated to the current FRCS syllabus and examiner expectations.
Trauma Viva 7-Day Accelerator Plan
PDF and videos to kickstart your trauma viva technique. Strategies that have worked for past candidates. Tips and tricks to score high. Work at your own pace over 7 days.
The Advantage
Why Coaching Makes the Difference
Examiner Perspective
Coaching from a consultant who has sat on the other side of the table. Understanding what examiners are looking for — and what loses marks — is the single most valuable preparation advantage.
Structured Frameworks
The FRCS rewards candidates who present information in a clear, logical structure. Every coaching session reinforces the frameworks that examiners recognise as consultant-level thinking.
Real Clinical Cases
Cases drawn from genuine clinical practice, not textbook scenarios. Preparation that reflects the complexity and ambiguity of real orthopaedic decision-making.
Results
From Candidates We Have Coached
“The viva coaching was transformative. After two sessions I had a completely different approach to structuring my answers — and I passed first time.”
“The feedback after each mock viva was more detailed and useful than anything I had received in years of training. I knew exactly what to work on.”
