General surgical trainees reported insufficient operative workload and supervised operating. While unsupervised operating satisfaction was high, some trainees felt unprepared for delegated emergency procedures, highlighting areas for surgical education improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Surgical Training Assessment

Background:

  • General surgical training aims to equip trainees with essential operative skills.
  • Assessing the adequacy of technical training is crucial for patient safety and surgical competency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the perceptions of general surgical trainees in Scotland regarding their technical training.
  • To identify specific areas of concern within the current surgical training curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was distributed to general surgical trainees across Scotland.
  • Data were collected on operative workload, supervision levels, and perceived training effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • 38% of trainees felt the operative workload was insufficient; the majority desired more supervised operating.

  • 21% of trainees felt unprepared for delegated emergency operations.
  • Craft workshops and inter-centre visits were perceived as highly beneficial by participants.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current general surgical training in Scotland may require adjustments to operative workload and supervision.
    • Targeted interventions, such as workshops and travel, could enhance surgical skill acquisition.
    • Further investigation into trainee preparedness for emergency procedures is warranted.
