Inviting applications for RCS Surgical Specialty Leads

The RCS Surgical Specialty Lead (SSL) roles have developed over the last seven years and SSLs are now national leaders of surgical clinical research in their specialties, with almost all specialties represented by an RCS SSL. These posts have been developed in partnership with, and supported by, surgical specialty associations and partner charities. These partnerships have been instrumental to the success of the SSL posts and the Surgical Trials Initiative as a whole.
