Implications of the shape of training review for surgery

Abstract

Published in 2013, the Shape of Training review is an independent review of postgraduate medical training overseen by Professor david Greenaway. 1 This review has set out recommendations for the structure and delivery of training for the next 30 years, 1 including a framework and timescale for this reconfiguration. There is a wide range of key themes, listed in Table 1 . The changes proposed in its 19 recommendations are far-reaching, with implications for both current and future surgical trainees in the UK.
