Accredited Paediatric Surgery hospital posts

The Board of Paediatric Surgery allocates Trainees to an accredited training post for each year of training.

On this page

The Board of Paediatric Surgery allocates Trainees to an accredited training post for each year of training. Trainee preferences will be considered but the Board retains discretionary power with respect to Trainee allocation.

Applicants and current Trainees should be aware that a component of training may take place in any accredited institution. Trainees will be required to move during their period of training. It is the Trainee's responsibility to contact the employing hospital to make the appropriate application for appointment to the allocated paediatric surgery training position.

The hospital to which a Trainee is allocated will be the employing body and as such may require documentation to complete the appointment process such as a full structured curriculum vitae, confirmation of medical registration or completed criminal record checks.
