Sustaining Surgical Training Utilising the Independent Sector
7th September 2020
Given the significant impact of the COVID pandemic on delivery of surgical services, it is widely accepted that this has had a profound effect on opportunities for surgical training. As the NHS remobilises clinical services, we need to ensure training opportunities for surgical trainees are optimised.
Many Trusts and Health Boards are now incorporating non-NHS facilities and significant elective surgical work is now being undertaken in the independent sector. To ensure ongoing trainee progression, every effort must be made to ensure training is incorporated in surgical remobilisation and any reconfiguration plans using these facilities.
This webinar will discuss the challenges and opportunities for surgical training utilising the independent sector.
