The outcomes from this meeting were agreed as:
There should be an SAS forum in East Midlands. There should also be a national SAS forum managed by the College.
If not already in place, there should be at least an annual meeting open to all SAS surgeons at the College specifically to provide an update, share experiences and allow access to those in the College who can offer advice/guidance.
• There was interest in the embryonic E-portfolio and people would like to know more about it.
• There should be local/national information re Article 14, revalidation and CPD and clear systems of communicating with SAS surgeons.
