The JCST is an advisory body to the four surgical Royal Colleges of the UK and Ireland, the Specialist Surgical Associations in Great Britain and Ireland, for all matters in relation to surgical training. With the advent of MMC and run-through training, the JCHST has made the transition to the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST), as its remit has been expanded to cover all surgical training from ST1 through to Specialist Registration.

For further information on recruitment for specialty training programmes please got to the Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) website www.mmc.nhs.uk Locum training posts will be advertised and recruited locally.

*Please contact the specialty teams with specific questions or look at the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) website www.iscp.ac.uk for information on the syllabus and curriculum.
