This is an opportunity to join a vibrant and energised group of surgical trainees who over the years have driven change and achieved significant success in areas of trainee life for the betterment of our membership and trainees everywhere.  The Trainees’ Committee of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is dedicated to representing and advocating for trainees.
