Exciting opportunity to be part of the SW Foundation Trainees Surgical Society Committee
Supported by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd), we are a large and active post-graduate society running across all four regions of the UK. Our key aim is to provide a platform and forum for junior doctors interested in a surgical career transition from their foundation role to core surgical training.
Our wing of the society includes trainees from Bristol down to Cornwall. Locally/ regionally we have worked hard to create events such as 'Acing the interview', journal clubs, career days and 'Surgical Skills Workshops', with many more in the pipeline. Nationally we have just hosted the '2nd FTSS National Conference' up in Edinburgh. We are looking for new members to carry the torch and help build the society further.
If you are interested in becoming part of this committee or have any questions, then please email Mr Subramanian at Ashok.Subramanian@somersetft.nhs.uk
