Overview

These Surgical Boot Camps are a joint collaboration of NHS Highland, The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. They aim to define and accelerate the acquisition of key technical and non-technical skills at the start of a surgical career, hence they are the recommended introductory course for both of the Scottish Core Surgical Training Programmes. CT1 or ST1 trainees from elsewhere may apply to go on a waiting list for those few places that may occasionally be unused by the Scottish Core Surgical Training programmes. If place available, fee will be £750. Further details available at https://www.surgicalbootcamps.com/
