Abstract
'Deans, royal colleges and the British Medical Association all beat the drum for surgical trainees but when it comes to those who deliver the training at the coalface it's a different story' – so says Ray Clarke, a consultant paediatric ENT surgeon and former winner of the Silver Scalpel award for excellence in surgical training. 'No matter how you remodel, modernise, streamline or restructure training programmes, surgical training still relies heavily on mentorship, support and role modelling by committed postgraduate trainers. Otherwise it just doesn't happen' says Mr Clarke, who teaches at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.
