Proud partner of the RCS Grassroots in Surgery Scheme 24/25

Tuesday 8th April 2025

Thanks to The Royal College of Surgeons of England Grassroots in Surgery Scheme, we delivered our very first "A DAY AS A SURGEON" careers workshop on 8th April 2025.

We had 70 students from Leicester's state-funded secondary schools join us for an exciting, hands-on experience, where they learned to incise and suture skin, practiced laparoscopic techniques, and explored orthopaedic skills with DePuy Synthes.

This initiative marks an important step forward in encouraging greater diversity in surgery, providing these students with invaluable exposure to the field.

A huge thank you to our incredible faculty and generous sponsors for making this event a success!
