Abstract

In 1949 a National Plastic Surgery Training Program was set up in Great Britain. At that time there was a relative shortage of trained specialists in such a new field, and a vast accumulation of wartime injuries and a backlog of untreated civilian cases. This situation has changed during the past 30 years so that emphasis in training has also had to adapt to include the subspecialties of hand surgery, microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, and aesthetic plastic surgery. The problems of training in aesthetic surgery and the formation of a new British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons are described.
