To Members and Fellows of The Royal College of Surgeons of England
The Review Group met this morning and I can report that they have accepted that surgery is a special case and there will be special transitional arrangements for surgery to cope with the large number of SHOs and others in non-training grades seeking to enter specialist training.

The Royal College of Surgeons has successfully negotiated a rescue package for trainee surgeons. The Department of Health has agreed to re-run the first round of the Medical Training and Application
