Abstract
- It is widely believed that it is impossible to train surgical trainees to Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT)-level in a mere 48-hour week; that trainees cannot gain sufficient exposure to surgical disease or carry out an acceptable number of procedures to gain the confidence and competence for CCT within the time now available. The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) is a reality and hospitals are already implementing strict controls to ensure its trainees do not exceed the hours they are allowed to work, resulting in a consultant-led service that further restricts training time and opportunity.
