This landscape was 430 million years in the making – learn about how the rocks were formed and how to identify them. To enrol, call Andrew on 0785 515 4596.

Advances in these fields have transformed surgery from a risky “art” into a scientific discipline capable of treating many diseases and conditions. All seats booked
