Abstract:
Postgraduate surgical education in the UK stands at a crossroads. After the fiasco of the online Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) the Modernising Medical Careers inquiry led by Sir John Tooke gives the profession encouragement to engage fully with the organisation and delivery of medical training and service. In addition to the reorganisation of training there are more changes imminent, notably the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) and Lord Darzi's impending review on the delivery of medical services. The question that needs addressing is 'how can high-quality surgical education be delivered in this time of rapid organisational change?'
