Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is surgical mentoring and why is it important for everyone?
Q: What is the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh mentoring scheme for?
The scheme aims to match trained mentors with mentees (senior trainees and young consultants) within a framework that supports career development, empowerment, and sustainable governance, rather than simply teaching skills or providing traditional supervision.
All You Need to Know About the MRCS!
Q: What does Part B entail and when should trainees attempt it?
Part B is an OSCE with 17 stations covering patient interaction, examination, and procedural skills; it is best taken after gaining some practical surgical experience, typically in early core training, and after successfully passing Part A.
All You Need to Know About the MRCS!
Q: How is Part A structured and what are the pass requirements?
Part A has two papers—basic sciences and general surgical principles—taken on the same day, with a minimum of 50% required on each; subsequent eligibility ties into Part B and ARCP outcomes.
All You Need to Know About the MRCS!
Q: What is MRCS and who oversees it?
It is a general surgical examination run jointly by the four UK and Ireland surgical colleges, overseen by the Intercollegiate Board on Basic Surgical Exams, with the aim of validating foundational surgical knowledge for progression.
Your Next Breath... In the words of the sculptor
Q: What emotions do you hope your sculpture will evoke in future generations?
Kenny hopes it will encapsulate the time of the COVID pandemic and reflect the societal role of the NHS, serving as a reminder of collective experiences.
