The MSc in Surgical Science and Practice prepares senior surgical trainees for life as independent specialists by providing a foundation in some of the most important additional lifelong skills which the future leaders of the profession need to acquire. It focuses on key skills and knowledge essential for modern practice, which are not fully represented or are omitted from most graduate training curricula. The modular nature of the course allows you to fit study around your work.
The programme will appeal to trainees in all surgical disciplines who seek to enhance their understanding and generic skills, and to newly qualified consultants/specialists. Applicants will usually be in the later years of their surgical training. Surgeons in the future will work as part of multi-disciplinary teams in complex organisations, and will need to adapt and develop new skills and roles throughout their professional lives. Thus the syllabus covers management skills, quality improvement, leadership, teamwork and patient safety, development and implementation of surgical technologies, as well as an introduction to the principles of medical education and clinical research methods. It also includes taught material on research skills.
The knowledge gained during the course will stand you in good stead throughout your career.
