Northern Ireland has one of the largest surgical training programmes in the United Kingdom. The surgical trainees' assessment of the quality of training provided has been collated prospectively since 1983, and provides a useful insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the programme, as well as the training value of individual posts. The overall quality of clinical training in surgery was considered to be well above average, but some registrars felt that supervision of operative surgery could be improved. Clinical research was considered to be of average quality in the teaching hospitals but below average in district general hospitals. In the current climate of restriction of the number of training posts in general surgery, the views of the trainees should not be neglected in assessing which posts are best suited for training.
北爱尔兰拥有英国规模最大的外科培训项目之一。自1983年起，对外科实习医生所接受培训质量的评估便开始进行前瞻性整理，这为了解该项目的优势与不足以及各个岗位的培训价值提供了有益视角。外科临床培训的整体质量被认为远高于平均水平，但一些住院医生觉得手术操作的监督仍有改进空间。教学医院的临床研究质量被认为处于平均水平，而地区综合医院的临床研究质量则低于平均水平。在当前普通外科培训岗位数量受限的情况下，在评估哪些岗位最适合培训时，实习医生的意见不应被忽视。
