Abstract

The Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) is a web-based system, approved by the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board, designed for the modern surgical trainee. First launched in August 2007, the ISCP provides the syllabus for surgical training in the UK. The website can be utilised by the trainee to record workplace-based assessments (WBAs), operations and appraisals under the guidance of an assigned educational supervisor (AES). This evidence is then used to demonstrate that the trainee has achieved the necessary targets set by the programme director (PD). The trainee then attends an annual review of competencies progression (ARCP), in which his or her suitability to progress within the programme is evaluated using the collated data.
