Surgical science and practice

Postgraduate part-time courses developing leadership skills for surgeons

In partnership with the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences

The programme is designed to prepare senior surgical trainees for life as independent specialists by providing key skills and knowledge essential for modern professional practice, which are not fully represented within most postgraduate training.  We cover management skills, quality improvement, leadership, teamwork and patient safety, the principles of medical education and clinical research methods.

• Part-time master's programme - study while working
• One-week courses in Oxford for professional training and updating
• Taught by leading experts under Professor Peter McCulloch, Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences
• Supported by an online resources portal with web access to Oxford’s libraries

"The MSc in Surgical Science and Practice covers critical aspects of the training of surgical specialists based on competentices. The teachers make you think out of the 'doctor's box - you are not just becoming a medical specialist, you will also be involved in research, quality improvement, teamwork, organisation, management and education."
