Surgical Society

Hi!

Welcome to the first Surgical Society of the Univeristy of Worcester!!

The goal of the Surgical Society is to support and encourage individuals interested in a career in surgery. We aim to provide talks and workshops from FY1-Consultants from around the Three Counties Area to help provide an insight into different specialities of surgery, as well as advice and guidance for developing a stellar portfolio upon graduation. 

We are a brand new society, and we wish to do our best to support all those interested in a career in surgery. Throughout the remainder of this academic year, and into the next, we have many ideas of events we hope to hold, including:

• Talks from FY1-Consultants on a variety of different topics
• Suture Workshops [both from external providers and practical workshops held by ourselves/staff]
• Surgical Anatomy Workshops
• Surgical Sculpture Workshops
• Surgical Skills Practice
• Surgical Skills 'Wet-labs' 
• Surgical Scrubbing-up and Theatre Etiquette

In the future, we would also like to organise external day trips to other universities with cadaver laboratories/facilities in order to develop essential surgical anatomy skills required for MRCS, FRCS, and of course, university examinations.

We hope to make surgical careers accessible and of interest to everyone, and want to reduce the 'intimidation' surrounding the career. We want surgery to be an exciting place and want to help provide opportunties for everyone to have the chance to have a go!

We look forward to meeting you all!

Best wishes, 

Amelia, Katherine and Jay xx
