CREHST Surgical Training Programme with Interest in General Surgery

The CREHST Program (Certificate of Readiness to Enter Higher Surgical Training) has been devised in order to provide trust grade junior clinical fellows a structured training experience culminating in CREHST sign-off (providing requirements are met), allowing application to higher surgical training.

9 roles across 3 themed programs are available as follows. This advert relates to 3 roles that sit in the General Surgery 'theme', as per the below.

The aim is to furnish trainees with broad surgical exposure, whilst allowing focussed development in their chosen speciality, in order to maximise the chances at ST3+ application., The post holders will be supported by the Consultants and middle grades and will be involved in the care of patients on the elective and emergency pathways. The post holders will be expected to join in the general surgery resident on call rota.

In addition to the clinical care of patients on the wards, the successful candidates will be expected to help the Specialist Registrars in the administration of the day to day running of the firms and to supervise, help and instruct the pre-registration house officers and medical students wherever possible.
