Welcome to the 5th FTSS surgical specialty teaching session. This is a collaborative initiative between the West Midlands Foundation Trainees Surgical Society(FTSS) and the Surgical Society of International Doctors(SSID).

This teaching series offers insider perspectives from trainees across diverse surgical specialities. An exclusive look into their weekly routines, shedding light on the pros and cons of their chosen specialities, the challenges they’ve faced and a succinct review of common cases they often encounter. Additionally, we also delve into details about the application process for their respective training programs.

In this session, we are excited to feature Ms Helena Smith MRCS, Vascular Surgery specialty trainee from the reputed West Midlands Deanery. Helena will give us an exclusive look into her journey through specialty training and the evolving landscape of women in surgical specialties!
