Evidence for the formal development of trauma subspecialty within plastic surgery in the united kingdom.

The Royal College of Surgeons working group on trauma recently recommended the reorganization of Plastic surgery training to incorporate a trauma subspeciality as a means to provide a sustainable workforce for trauma care provision nationally. The aim of this work was to gauge trainee opinion and aspiration in order to advice and shape the future of trauma training to meet this potential need. An online survey was conducted of UK Plastic surgical trainees to assess their interest in subspecialisiing in trauma.
