Abstract

Quality outcomes in emergency surgery are achieved by knowledge and training in emergency surgery. This requires standards and KPIs which need to be measured and reported regularly. This chapter reviewed published articles relating to Education and Training in Emergency Surgery and collation of information from learned societies, colleges and government organizations to create a menu of existing education courses and platforms. Well-defined, standards and guidelines in emergency surgery education do not exist, despite some significant recent publications and improved implementation of training. Education activities should engage with other disciplines, particularly Emergency Medicine, Radiology, Gastroenterology and Anaesthesia. This paper outlines a minimal standard for the future options for education in emergency general surgery and suggests some benchmark and measurable KPIs.
