This time the branch invited one of the local PQE students to give a talk too: the idea proved to be a rewarding innovation as the audience related well to his experience of studying with the Institute whilst working. The question and answer session that followed was vibrant and informative.

A very interesting point made by the branch student concerned the practical efficacy of the Institute's courses in comparison with those offered by other institutions.
