Our future workforce faces significant challenges in meeting the demands of an evolving healthcare landscape and the increasing complexity of patient needs. We must be strategic in supporting our workforce to match changing trends bу developing strong progressive career support for each resident doctor and ensuring we proactively develop a workforce capable of managing increased surgical complexity.

In this episode, Hannah and Naomi discuss the first focus of the surgical skills project - workforce of the future - and what we will be working on in the next phase of the project.

In our first episode the surgical skills fellows (Hannah Pierce & Naomi Harvey) talk to RCOG president, Ranee Thakar, and RCOG Vice President for Education, Ian Scudamore, on how the surgical skills project came to be and their own personal experiences of surgical skills training. The following bitesize episodes will do a deeper dive into each of the five chapters of the surgical skills interim report. Highlighting the key findings and generating conversation on some of the potential solutions to be taken forward in the next phase of the project.
