Overview
The foundation trainees surgical societies have organised a national conference open to all medical students, junior doctors and core trainees aimed at providing an inspirational and informative event for those interested in a future surgical career. The main theme for this year’s conference is trainees today, surgeons tomorrow. The conference aims to explore all the routes through surgical training, including non-traditional paths.
