No. We aren’t.

The foundation program is, and has been, flawed for some time

Yes, there are some places that have got it right. For sure!

But when the vast majority of F2s take F3+ & we have data like this (and other studies) it’s time to accept that it’s time to change

[Stella Vig #NHS @svig2]

6 years from an SHO to a Consultant Surgeon. Is this time well spent? Would it be better to implement focused training, reduce training time but to the same (if not better) standard?

If so, what do we need to do? #MedTwitter

Can any *INCOMING London CSTs* please dm me.

The current trainees want to set up a mentor/buddy system for you all to help with induction etc 🙏🏽

Thank you @STARS_LDN for the useful +++ interview prep session today! Amazing trainees taking time even at work to nurture aspiring surgeons. Hope to be able to contribute towards making surgical training more accessible as well one day!

[Stephanie D'Costa @_stephdc]

@hayleymagill If it helps I truly valued my mock interview session! I thought it was genuinely so generous of you all the give up your time when realistically you could be paid for this on a private course!!! Thank you so much for the effort you've put in

[STARS @STARS_LDN]

To everyone getting their evidence scores back, we hope you all got the result you wanted 🤩

@bdsd93 If you haven’t already signed up, we have a long waiting list so you’d be very unlikely to get a place. Sorry!

Good luck with your application 🌟
