More Questions • Further exams post ICE? • Not on your life! • Why should surgery be different? • Why should coloproctology differ? • Can we separate emergency and elective work? • Will we recreate old bottlenecks • Is it necessary?
Suggested Path Forward • Robust evaluation of Calman • Heterogenous group • Implement improvements • Any changes universal • Are “craft” specialties different? • Evidence based • Changes will be inevitable • Colleges & Associations continue to lead
Trainee’s Role Must be Active • Join Societies • ASiT • Dukes’ Club • Collect and publish data • Electronic logbook • Identify good & bad training units • Encourage future trainees
Summary • Current CCT holders probably OK • Current senior SpRs probably OK • Current new SpRs less certain • Current SHOs parallel training • Current F1/2s very uncertain • However… change is nothing new • Extent and pace is unprecedented
