Surgical Specialties

There are ten recognised surgical specialties, all of which will provide you with different challenges and rewards throughout your career.

We provide information on these as well as academic surgery, covering the type of work involved, working conditions (on call; emergency work; clinics; administration etc.), working options, sub-specialisation and how competitive each specialty is.
