AGPT registrars can commence applying to practices for the 2025.2 placement round through the Training Management System (TMS) from Monday, 28 April. Due to this, we are anticipating higher-than-usual traffic to our TMS. Although this may result in slower load times, we will actively be monitoring TMS performance and making necessary changes to remediate any issues. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

This variant of acoustic stethoscope is known as a ‘Littmann-type’, named after its inventor Dr David Littmann, of the Harvard Medical School. Littmann’s stethoscope incorporates substantial refinements to the chest-piece, resulting in a lighter instrument which is easier to use. It is made from metals and polymers and dates from 1990.
