COVID-19 and Surgical Trainees - Your Questions Answered
13th April 2020
Overview
All the agencies involved in training are working together to ensure that wherever possible surgical trainees are not disadvantaged and that they are able to progress appropriately. The Surgical Colleges via JCST are working with the four national education bodies who in turn through the National and Regional schools of surgery will endeavour to support all surgical trainees.
This webinar will update on current issues facing surgical trainees, including the principles for redeployment, pausing of all planned rotations, recruitment, examinations, ARCPs and trainee progression including requirements for CCT, and revalidation arrangements for doctors in training.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents immense challenges to surgical trainees and their trainers. This webinar will explore how we can ensure that we optimise our training during this difficult time.
