An interactive online resource for surgeons
eSurgery is designed to support practitioners in the early years of surgical training. It has been developed by The Royal College of Surgeons of England in conjunction with Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare.
Online surgical training
eSurgery helps you to develop the basic knowledge and skills required of a surgeon. It provides broad theoretical knowledge common to all surgical specialties.
The clinical content, which maps to the UK's Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme, covers topics such as peri-operative care and organ/tissue transplantation. The learning sessions include a number of interactive features, such as video/audio clips and animations, to help reinforce learning. Each session takes around 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
eSurgery can be accessed online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can study at your own pace in the workplace, at home or on the move. The learning can be tailored to your training needs, and the sessions can be completed in any order.
