May 2021 update

We recently experienced technical issues when releasing our registrations for July-December 2021 courses which resulted in a system outage. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. RACS is working toward resolving these issues. 

We are aware there is a high demand for Skills Training courses. If you would like to be added to a reserve list place, please visit the ASSET course 2021 (PDF 81.54KB) schedule and email Skills.Courses@surgeons.org with the following information:
