Surgical Society

Welcome to the first Surgical Society at the University of Worcester!

The goal of this society is to support and encourage all those interested in a career in surgery. We aim to provide talks and workshops from FY1-Consultants from around the Three Counties area to help provide an insight into the different specialities that can be pursued, as well as advice and guidance for developing a stellar portfolio upon graduation. 

Throughout the academic year 2024/25 - there are a variety of events we hope to hold, including:

• Talks from FY1-Consultants covering a range of different topics
• Suture Workshops [both from external providers and practical workshops held by ourselves/staff]
• Surgical Anatomy Workshops
• Surgical Sculpture Workshops
• Surgical Skills Practice
• Surgical Skills 'Wet-labs' 
• Surgical Scrubbing-up and Theatre Etiquette

In the future, we would also like to organise external day trips to other universities with cadaver laboratories/facilities in order to develop essential surgical anatomy skills required for MRCS, FRCS, and of course, university examinations.

We hope to make a career in surgery accessible and of interest to everyone. So come, join us!

Best wishes, 

Amelia, Katherine, and Jay
