Training Programme Director – Core Surgery – Education Lead
The role of Training Programme Director is to work with and support the Postgraduate Dean in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions within their specialty, aligned to the NHS England mandate. Within the School of Surgery, the Core Surgical Training Education Lead is one of our Surgical Training Support TPDs. The Surgical Training Support TPDs are members of the Speciality Training Committee (STC) which is managerially responsible to the Postgraduate Dean for the delivery of training in that speciality according to the standards set by the GMC and the Royal College of Surgeons. It is expected that the surgical training support TPDs will assist TPDs in their parent specialties, including participating in core and higher surgical training ARCPs and national selection processes.
Main duties and responsibilities
The Core Surgical Training Education Lead is responsible for the delivery and development of the Core Surgical Training teaching programme, liaising with the Core Surgery TPDs as well as the Head of School, Faculty development and Robotic Surgery Training Support TPDs. The Education Lead will focus on the continuous development and delivery of high‑quality courses to support key core surgery outcomes, success in the MRCS examination and successful career progression (usually to surgical ST3 posts). The Education Lead will coordinate and facilitate the core surgery induction programme in August and will ensure appropriate induction is provided to trainees joining at differing time points. The Core Surgical Training Education Lead will liaise with E‑Star and core surgery training representatives to identify areas of the curriculum for which additional teaching support would be valuable.
