EDUCATIONAL REVIEW: Training specialist registrars in general surgery: a qualitative study in Tayside

摘要

Background: Owing to decreased hours of work and duration of training, there is a need to refashion the training of surgical specialist registrars (SpRs) in the United Kingdom. This requires more guidance for trainers, but consensus regarding good trainer attributes does not exist. This study describes the training practices of Tayside general surgical trainers working with SpRs and highlights good training practice involving technical and patient management skills.
