The BSGE are excited to open applications for the BSGE RIGS HUB National Training Programme. This is a centralised, standardised BSGE programme, that is delivered through a series of hands on workshops at laparoscopic hubs within each deanery and online webinars. Each workshop will be facilitated by appointed RIGs regional reps, along with a BSGE faculty within each hub. There are 3 programme streams (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced) and the content aligns with the requirements of the core RCOG curriculum. We anticipate training to commence in March 2021 (Basic), April 2021 (Intermediate) and May 2021 (Advanced) and the programme will complete over a maximum period of 12 months.

If you are a BSGE consultant member and are interested in becoming faculty to deliver practical training within your deanery hub please register you interest by emailing trainees@bsge.org.uk

Application will close online on 19th February 2021. Delegates will be informed of their place on 1st March 2021.

All applicants must be BSGE members at the time of application.

If trainees are approaching CCT it is recommended that the programme is completed within 6 months of their CCT date.

All trainees should be based in the UK or Northern Ireland.

All trainees should have a national training number (NTN) with the RCOG. Applicants holding a non-NTN post will be considered if spaces are available but may be offered an alternative programme stream.

Applicants on maternity leave or out of programme, but holding NTN, will be eligible to apply.
