Advancing paediatric surgery through education and research

Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC)

Paediatric surgery is one of nine surgical specialties recognised within the UK and Ireland, each with its own SAC. This plays a key role in the development of postgraduate surgical training in the UK and Ireland and works to ensure that the training programme covers all aspects essential to train someone to the level of a day one consultant.
