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.

Dear Fellows and Members
This letter is something of an end of term round up as most of us are looking forward to a well earned break, not all though; many of our trainees can’t begin to enjoy their summer without knowing what the future has in store.

Just some information to let you know that there is a job transfer scheme available. If in round one you accepted a post but have good reasons to work in another region and there is another candidate that wants to work in the region you have accepted a post in then a transfer might be possible.
You can read more about it on the MMC website.

Two surgeons Sara E Atkins and Karen J Dickinson have started up a course on Anatomy for candidates taking the MRCS surgical exams. It is a three day course and includes lectures from college examiners and cadaveric specimens. From the information on their web page the course sounds excellant and well though out.
The next course dates are the 7th to 9th September 2007 and more information can be found at www.anatomyforsurgeons.com
Also if anyone has been on the course then leave some feedback here and tells us what you think of.
