This section aims to support teachers, parents and individuals looking at careers in surgery.
The College Careers team can provide schools and individuals with a number of resources such as the ‘So you want to be a surgeon’ booklet. We can also try to put teachers in touch with local surgeons and medical students to support careers fairs and local events.
