Welcome to the Faculty of Surgical Trainers Application Website

Are you a surgeon who is passionate about training?
Would you like recognition and assistance to help you do this important work?

The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is setting up a Faculty of Surgical Trainers in Scotland.

It is open to every surgeon whatever your College, whatever your specialty, and whatever your grade. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh recognises that there are many surgeons of all grades who are keen trainers but who are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain the time and resources to do this well. We would like to help you:

  1. Gather the evidence which could be used to recognise the great work which you do
  2. Provide training and support
  3. Help you acquire any qualifications you need

The College is running a pilot of the concept of a Faculty of Surgical Trainers in Scotland. If we can make it work, then we would like to make it inter-collegiate and international.

If you would like to be 'in at the start' of this exciting initiative, please go to the Apply page. Membership is free. All we need is your enthusiasm, your ideas, and your support.
