COVID-19 Q&A with ASIT and BOTA: By trainees for trainees.

We are acutely aware of the disruption to your training and assessment during this outbreak and the wider impact this has.

Following on from our successful webinar on training and progression, our next free webinar on Thursday 23 April will be a joint collaboration with the Association of Surgeons in Training (ASiT) and British Orthopaedic Trainees' Association (BOTA). This session is the perfect platform for you to tune in and discuss these issues directly impacting you currently, brought to you by trainees, for trainees.

We will be joined by Tricia Campbell, President of BOTA,  Josh Burke, President of ASiT, and Gareth Griffiths, Chair of Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST).
