GI Specialty Doctor | York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We actively support and mentor Speciality Doctors in GI surgery at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals. We have created an internal training scheme with opportunities in General, Upper GI, Colorectal and Abdominal Wall surgery on 2 sites. Educational supervisors are allocated to all appointed speciality doctors and help and support is provide for application and passing the FRCS exam. Furthermore, we also support CESR application. We have created 2 CESR associated specialist posts which provide opportunities in consultant level care and independent practice to further support for a CESR application. We are proud to have a number of our Speciality Doctors progress onto Consultant posts.
