Registrar Boot Camp

Over the last three years Chris Lewis and James Tomlinson have developed a new surgical boot camp for ST3 trauma and orthopaedic trainees at their trust in Yorkshire, focusing on leadership, professionalism, and the complexities of the registrar role, with an aim towards getting the most from the surgical team around them in the pursuit of outstanding patient care. The sessions have been delivered by trainees who have undertaken formal leadership fellowships, developing the skills of both those attending the bootcamp as well as those delivering it.  Today, Chris and James are joined by Vivek Balachandar and Erin Demoulin to discuss the evolution of the bootcamp and the lessons learned from its implementation. As always, opinions expressed on this podcast are the speakers' own and do not necessarily reflect the official views of RCS England.
