Teaching

The Surgery Department provides both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Medical students from the Norwich Medical School learn how to diagnose and treat surgical conditions, including surgical emergencies. Postgraduate trainees receive formal teaching and supervised training within an accredited training programme.

The department has an active academic programme, consisting of weekly educational meeting and  6-weekly educational half days. The weekly meetings often have outside guest speakers who are experts in their fields. In addition the department participates in the lunch-time surgical specialties teaching programme which prepares trainees for postgraduate surgical examinations.

Our focus on education helps to ensure that our patients benefit from the latest advances in the field of surgery
