The temples have existed since the Sangam period, although they were built of perishable soil and wood and did not last long. But instead the Pallavas were the first to build cave temples and stone temples. It was later followed by the Pandya and Chola dynasties. This article describes the history, architecture and sculpture of the Someswarar Temple in Anthakudi, in the Keezhvellore taluk, Nagapattinam District, based on the evidence obtained through a field study. Along with these, the information known through the medieval Chola inscriptions here, the ancient Tamil people Architecture technique, structure of the temple and Chola sculptures have been studied historically. Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the ancient temples are not only places of worship but also treasures of art, history and culture.

Conclusions CMTs found it difficult to gain access to procedures essential for completion of ARCP and progression to medical registrar roles. This led to poor experience and a lack of confidence performing the procedures. The introduction of a bespoke procedural skills programme, based at the Royal Free Hospital and created for CMTs to obtain procedural competences, helped trainees gain experience and confidence in performing essential procedures, offered them daily to weekly opportunities throughout the training year, and ensured that they received formative and summative DOPS assessments from experienced supervisors. This model can be replicated in other trusts that provide the same procedural services, and has the potential to improve ARCP outcomes and increase confidence for CMTs progressing to medical registrar roles on a national level. ■
