Neurosurgical training programme

Our  Neurosurgery department is part of the North Thames Neurosurgery rotation program. We are dedicated in training neurosurgical registrars and supporting them through their journey to become a fully qualified neurosurgeon. The registrars rotating to our unit are exposed to a variety of neurosurgical pathologies and benefit from morning handover meeting teaching and other teaching opportunities.
