The RCS has advertised a fourth round of systematic reviews.

Applications will be accepted from teams formed of at least one supervising consultant surgeon and three trainees. From these applications, three teams will be invited to carry out the reviews under the supervision of the systematic review experts at the RCS.

These teams will be expected to attend at least two workshops held in London and take part in teleconferences, when necessary.

They are particularly interested in:

• Building new teams
• Focus on developing a new clinical trial
• Fostering interdisciplinary links

The deadline has been extended and is now 27th JULY 2017. Further details are available on the RCS website. Please get in touch with the RSTN if you are thinking of applying. The RSTN has been successful in two previous rounds.
