Surgery

The surgery speciality is one of 30 specialities which bring together communities of clinical practice to provide national networks of research expertise. Our membership is made up of research-interested clinicians and practitioners at both national and local levels. Our job is to ensure that surgery studies receive the right support to ensure they are delivered successfully in the NHS.

We oversee research that involves surgical procedures or operations. This area of research spans all healthcare and is therefore split into many surgical sub-specialties which focus on different areas or aspects of the human body such as the heart, brain, bones, veins. Surgery is also often defined by the type of surgical procedure involved. We support all types of surgical research. Examples include open surgery, keyhole surgery, laparoscopic surgery and microsurgery.
