Over the coming months, each of the core faculties will be developing their own area of the website, offering better access to information and services for their users.

Faculty of Surgical Trainers

The Faculty of Surgical Trainers is a new initiative that is being run as a pilot study in Scotland until September 2012. The purpose of the Faculty is to help surgeons set, promote and maintain high standards in surgical training. In the pilot year, the FST aims to listen to what it is that surgeons believe constitutes excellence in training, and assist surgeons in achieving and maintaining training excellence through various methods of education, discussion, and standard setting.
