The final version of the Tooke report is now available on-line.
www.mmcinquiry.org.uk/MMC_FINAL_REPORT_REVD_4jan.pdf
It makes for some interesting reading. Note the creation of yet another body; NHS:MEE (NHS Medical Education England). It would appear that this body take over responsibilities from the DoH. Note also the comment about ring-fenching monies for training, so we may actually get a re-instantment of study budgets.

I have just come accross a new website call Adjuvant Online. From the sites own text it aims to help healthcare professional given a quanitative answer to patients regarding adjuvant treatment post surgery. It includes advise on Breast, colon and lung cancers. It is an American site, but I think it is well worth a visit.

 A position has become available at the National Surgical Training Centre, RCSI,Dublin for a research fellow. Broadly speaking, the research project is about the application of virtual reality simulation to surgical training.
This research is with a view to earning an MD degree. It would be ideal for a trainee awaiting a HST position in general surgery.

The Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) has been the source of much distress to trainee surgeons and a huge lobbying issue for this college throughout 2007. The publication, on October 8th, of Sir John Tooke’s interim report reviewing Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) (this file is 3.1 MB) hopefully heralds a sea change at the Department of Health with the recognition of the need for broad-based early training, with greater flexibility and more rigorous selection for craft specialties.

Source of Evidence:
The Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews 2007 Issue I.
Background
About 10%-15% of adult western population has gallstones and between 1 & 4% become symptomatic in a year. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy which was introduced in 1987 is now the preferred method of cholecystectomy, but there has been considerable controversy regarding the timing of surgery. It has been noted that only 20% of surgeons in the United Kingdom perform laparoscopic cholecystectomies during the acute phase.
