Clinical academics in the U.K. (and particularly surgeons) @RCSEd @RCSnews @rcpsglasgow - why do the majority of post-PhD clinical / transitional fellowships appear to exclude surgical applicants? I struggle to see how it’s feasible to be an effective, safe and developing early-career surgeon (end of training / early consultancy) with a maximum 40% of time (and some only 20%) spent on clinical activity (which would include SPA)? Is there anyone out there who has done this and is happy to share their experiences? Would love to see what percentage of applications are from surgeons / surgical trainees but can’t imagine it’s very high!
