RCS Edinburgh Surgical Programmes

 

The Future Leaders Programme (FLP) is open to general surgeons, ENT, urology, OMFS, breast, vascular, cardiothoracic, neurosurgeons, paediatric and plastic surgeons. The programme is accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) and the College has helped with the administration of the programme since 2021. Funding is available from ASiT, ASPBGI, BAOMS, ENT UK, MDDUS, RCSEd, SBNS and the Vascular Society.

FLP is a 12-month blended learning programme supporting surgeons (ST8, SAS or in the first years of consultancy), from the specialties listed above, and dentists on the specialist list or working as an SAS grade, with the passion to be future leaders within their specialty and equip them with the advanced leadership skills needed to excel.

  • 4 virtual days (October & May)
  • 2 days in-person in Birmingham (January)
