The surgical training system in the UK has long been considered to be of a very high standard. However, it is currently under threat from many changes. To assure the quality of the future surgical consultant workforce we have moved away from apprentice-type training towards more ordered education. Although the reduction in hours and years will mean less overall experience there is a genuine belief that improved education and assessment can compensate. It says much for our island mentality that although we belong to the EU we consider European surgical training to be distinct from our own.

Traditionally, in UK-based surgical training, the majority of trainees spend a period of time out of clinical training undertaking research, usually leading to the award of a postgraduate degree or thesis (MD or PhD). The intention of this was to supplement clinical with academic training that developed skills such as critical appraisal, independent working and systematic thinking to enrich future surgical practice. The opportunity for academic activity is a significant factor in choosing a surgical career for many trainees.

The Modernising Medical Careers changes to higher surgical training are almost upon us. Selection into ST1–3 has begun, but what are the most important selection criteria and how have they changed from the old Calman-system? Applicants are desperate to succeed but when it comes to knowing what specialty programme directors look for in a candidate, they have little to go on. This paper goes some way to answering these questions and perhaps gives applicants some useful insight into the minds of those with the power to say 'yes'.

The section on changes in training from the Future in Surgery Report by the Royal College of Surgeons of England outlined key ideas for improving surgical training in the future. These ideas included the use of augmented reality, virtual reality and simulation, as well as increased support for surgeons to diverge from traditional surgical training pathways to undertake research and act as entrepreneurs. The Second Oxford Surgical Innovation Conference (OxSI) had similar aims to prepare delegates for these changes in surgery. The event took place on Friday 13th March 2020 at St Catherine's College, Oxford, and included talks and workshops from world-renowned surgeons, which covered a vast range of topics but ultimately all gave a fascinating insight into what is needed to improve surgical practice and policy.
