ASiT Response to the ISCP Eraut Report

We are pleased to publish our response to the Eraut Report, as issued to the Joint Committee on Surgical Training in April.

ASiT has previously noted the troubling content of the ISCP Evaluation Report by Professor Michael Eraut and welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding the ISCP and the future of surgical training.

We believe Professor Eraut’s report correctly highlights the broad failings currently found in UK surgical training, over and above the original remit of his report. Given Professor Eraut’s position as a non-surgical, independent observer of international standing in the field of education, this serves to emphasise the profound problems faced by surgical trainees, and which ASiT has sought to draw attention to for several years.

A copy of the response can be downloaded below, together with JCST discussion paper and executive summary of the Eraut report.
