Medical acronyms quiz
Here’s a number of acronyms frequently used in medical situations and in line with the NHS website. You've probably heard of them all but do you know what they stand for? You must get the full name correct for the point. Some easy others not and if you get #11 you get an extra point and must be a medical professional. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
