The Surgical Colleges are committed to supporting training and are very well aware of the increasing financial demands that are currently being placed on trainees. We have taken the decision that the trainee fee for 2016-17 will remain at the present level.
The JCST continues to deliver essential work including enrolling and monitoring trainees and making recommendations for certification; developing, maintaining, updating and delivering the curriculum and the online training management system; and supporting national quality assurance and local quality management processes for surgical training programmes.
We remain committed to supporting the many enhancements that are currently being built into the curriculum and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP).
