From August 2007, it will be mandatory for all new surgical trainees and their trainers to use the new surgical curricula. When trainees and assigned educational supervisors register with the ISCP, they will be able to utilise the interactive website to upload learning agreements, record assessments and progression, update logbooks and build e-portfolios.
To become familiar with the system, trainees and education supervisors may pre-register before August 2007 by logging onto www.iscp.ac.uk. For help with registering, email helpdesk@iscp.ac.uk or telephone the ISCP Help Desk on 020 7869 6299.
The ISCP has been developed by all Surgical Colleges of Great Britain and Ireland and all nine Surgical Specialty Associations under the umbrella of the Joint Committee of Surgical Training (JCST).
