Annual Meeting 2018 Presentations

CL03: TEACHING SURGERY: A PERSPECTIVE FROM JERSEY, UK CHANNEL ISLANDS
Muhammad Aleem, F.R.C.S.Ed.;F.R.C.S.I.(Dublin); Jersey General Hospital Channel Island of U.K.

 

Background: Department of Surgery offers a unique perspective on surgical education in Jersey General Hospital. It is situated 100 miles off the coast of the mainland, serves a population of 100,000 people and has 137 in-patient surgical beds

Methods: There are two Southampton Medical School final year students at any one time covering their surgical attachment. Mandatory weekly teaching is arranged for the FY1/2 grades and covers a wide variety of medical and surgical topics.

Department of Surgery provides unique circumstances for teaching surgery to the next generation of medics. The relatively lower number of training grades provides practical learning opportunities with respect to attending multidisciplinary team meetings, theatre lists and completing ward-based procedures. Individualisation of teaching to specific needs, and fosters a strong sense of cohesion on the wards.

Results: As a results, questions and open discourse tend to be encouraged in this environment and foundation year 1 and 2 trainee and medical students is perhaps the greatest modifier of the teaching experience offered by training in the Channel Islands.

Conclusions: There is complete immersion in the placement and its numerous educational opportunities. It is this combination of factors, and many more, that make teaching surgery in Jersey.
