Target Audience / Suitability
CT1-ST3
Candidates receive the greatest benefit when CCrISP® is taken in CT2/ST2 but candidates in the earlier part of specialist training CT1/ST1 may also apply although it is strongly recommended they have had six months general surgery training.
This course is not suitable for FY trainees who are recommended to attend the START surgery course. If foundation trainees mistakenly apply online they will be removed from the course. Foundation trainees are not permitted to attend a CCrISP course regionally as a candidate either and will not receive a certificate of completion from the College on that basis.

Delegate Feedback
'I found the enthusiasm that the course faculty delivered for this course absolutely brilliant. There was a wide range of specialties and experience and it was clear that the trainers took a lot of pleasure in providing a thorough and stimulating course.'
'Very comprehensive and well taught course. Focus on further investigation/diagnosis/planning (beyond initial resuscitation) really valuable as this tends to be the part which I find most difficult.'
