Head & Neck Interface Fellowships
The meeting of interested parties in the Head & Neck Interface fellowships met on February 12th 2014 chaired by Ian Eardley, Chair of the JCST.
Plastic Surgery was represented by myself, Graeme Perks (President of BAPRAS), Mark Henley (Educational lead for Interface fellowships) and Maniram Ragbir (Head & Neck group representative).
I am pleased to say that the interviews for the Head and Neck fellowships will proceed this year following a productive meeting and substantial agreement and compromise from all three specialties involved. The timeframe will be tight as the interviews will be held in Brisol on Friday March 21st 2014 so that expect the 'Severn Deanery' to advertise shortly.
The principles decided closely mirror that of the breast fellowships and are as follows:-
a) The presidents of BAPRAS, BAHNO, BAOMS and ENT-UK will produce a joint statement on what is expected of a Head and Neck Unit of the future.
b) When this statement is produced the 3 SAC Chairs involved will define the framework for a joint curriculum in Head and Neck Surgery that appointed Consultants from each of the three specialties will then expand upon to be presented to the GMC by August 2015.
c) For this round of selection each of the three specialties will be guaranteed an appointment with the remaining 4 slots up for grabs to the following best candidates from whatever specialty.
d) The timeframe for 2014 is simply too tight but for 2015 there will be future discussion about identifying the specific entry criteria for each of the 3 specialties.
e) For 2015 a question setting panel will be set up to ensure absolute equality in question setting paticularly with respect to positive and negative discriminators as happens in all the exit examinations.
For those of you considering a career in Head and Neck Oncology even if only with respect to skin oncology then I urge you to commence your preparation for this interview round. Whilst there are never any guarantees, the successful candidates for these fellowships will be extremely well placed to obtain a subsequent Consultant post.
On a similar theme, I want to make it quite clear that accepting and starting such Interface fellowships of whatever type implies a certain commitment on your part. To leave such fellowships early even by one day will automatically negate your having undertaken such fellowships unless there is extreme extenuating circumstances that does not include the opportunity to take up a Consultant post in whatever form. As far as I am concerned it is disrespectful to your unsuccessful competitors, peers, trainers and the Units involved to leave early and should such an individual suggest at interview for Consultant post that they have completed an Interface fellowship or on any future advertising then I would have no issue in taking further action.

Chair, Plastic Surgery SAC

JCST SAC Review - Core Functions Survey
The four surgical Royal Colleges of the United Kingdom and Ireland recently commissioned a review to examine all aspects of the structure roles and functions of the JCST. Following on from that review, the JCST has agreed its Strategy for 2013 - 2018. This includes a commitment to ensure the JCST is as effective and as cost effective as possible at both strategic and operational levels. The JCST is therefore re-examining the terms of reference, membership and functions of all of its committees and a small group has been established to review all aspects of the work of the SACs.
Following on from that review, the JCST has agreed its Strategy for 2013 - 2018. This includes a commitment to ensure the JCST is as effective and as cost effective as possible at both strategic and operational levels. The JCST is therefore re-examining the terms of reference, membership and functions of all of its committees and a small group has been established to review all aspects of the work of the SACs.
The first stage of this process is to seek the opinions of all who interact with the work of the SACs and of the SAC members themselves. Once all this information has been gathered, it will be analysed and proposals formulated which will then be consulted upon before publication of the final report and recommendations for the JCST by March 2015.
We have therefore created a Survey Monkey questionnaire which is designed to seek the views of a wide group of stakeholders including:
• Current and previous SAC Chairs
• Current and previous SAC members
• Current and previous JCST Chairs
• Representatives of ASiT and BOTA (trainee organisations) and other trainee associations
• Surgical Specialty Associations
• Other Medical Royal Colleges (including RCP, RCOphth, RCA, RCPCH)
• Presidents of all UK and Ireland Surgical Colleges
• Heads of Schools of Surgery
• Training Programme Directors
• JCST and SAC Lead Deans
• Key personnel in the GMC
• JCST secretariat
The survey is set against the background of the GMC review into the delivery of Quality Assurance and externality which may significantly increase the role of SAC Liaison Members in these areas in the future as hospital visits involving specialty input are likely to become standard practice again.
To complete our survey please follow this linkhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SAC_CoreFunctions and press ‘Done’ when you are finished.
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
With best wishes
