New Consultants Course

Introducing the improved New Consultant Course, now with a dedicated full Trauma Day and a full day in the Cadaver Lab which offers a comprehensive and interactive learning experience designed to support new consultants to prepare for and thrive in  their roles. The course is conveniently situated in Bristol from the 29th of April to the 1st of May 2026. The Faculty is experienced and includes many eminent surgeons who are known for their down to earth and engaging teaching. This approach encourages networking with peers and established BOFAS members, providing valuable opportunities for professional growth and development.

The Trauma Day 

The Trauma includes on-line eminent lectures for you to take home,  and during the day a trauma specific faculty with small group interactive sessions.

New Consultants Day

We know that this time can be challenging in ways that you might not have imagined, and this course has been designed to support you on your journey and to provide a valuable opportunity for networking with peers and established BOFAS members.

The course itself is deliberately interactive:  there will be no long didactic lectures and there is no traditional faculty/delegate split. Each mini-session of short talks is followed by discussion time, which you will also take turns to chair in order to encourage all of those around the table to contribute. We encourage you to participate and join in the discussion as we are here to talk through your experiences, expectation and concerns about your new life as a Consultant.

The forum faculty are experienced and approachable educators who have participated on other BOFAS courses.

Cadaveric Day

The cadaveric day, will give you an opportunity to learn some tips and tricks from the faculty and consolidate your learning from your time in training and on Fellowship and to perform any procedures which you might not have the opportunity to do regularly we will include difficult trauma approaches.
