There will be opportunities to undertake extra shifts at the hospital in the department of general surgery which may help them self-fund the registration expenses, Colorectal Robotic Surgery Project: The proposed project (RIDDLE) is a multicentre cohort study that aims to evaluate robotic surgery for patients with inflammatory bowel disease in terms of efficacy, surgical technique and surgeon stress. This project will build upon the existing body of work that has been undertaken to evaluate surgeon stress during robotic and laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. The successful candidate will be responsible for the delivery of the study, data analysis and reporting of results; it is envisaged that this will lead to a research degree, likely MD/PhD.
