Introduction: Recruitment and retention of women in surgery is limited by a reputation that surgery is not family friendly. Recent work has focused on why women leave surgery, and there is little data on how most manage to stay. In this qualitative phenomenological study, we interviewed 11 female senior trainees and junior surgical consultants in the United Kingdom and conducted a thematic analysis of their challenges and solutions, impact on professional identity, and possible solutions.
Conclusions: This study shows that balancing motherhood and surgery in the United Kingdom is feasible, but interventions in deaneries and training organizations could lead us to a future where they are better supported. Normalizing motherhood is needed to normalize modern family structures and is essential for gender equity.
The desire to improve the situation for patients with end stage renal failure and diabetes through transplantation. To research new techniques and medication to ameliorate ischaemia-reperfusion injury in renal transplant. To be a role model for more junior trainees and medical students to encourage them to consider a career in surgery.

Rewa Keegan is a general surgeon, currently working as the surgical superintendent at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. She completed her intern and resident years at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and commenced general surgical training in 2010, successfully gaining her fellowship in 2014. Rewa loves clinical teaching from a medical student to registrar level, particularly in the areas of surgical simulation and working with aspiring surgeons on developing their career plans. Rewa is very interested in surgical education, and has undertaken a number of research projects looking at how registrars perceive their experience in surgical training. Rewa plans to undertake further training in oncoplastic breast surgery and she and her husband ultimately plan to settle in a regional coastal centre after completing fellowships overseas.
You are working on the general surgery team in a tertiary hospital, managing patients with a variety of different surgical conditions, and your team is on call for trauma surgery as well.
The Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons Pan London Emergency Cardiac Surgery group has advised that only two of the seven (of which we are one) cardiac surgical centers in London will provide a cardiac surgical service. The reduced opportunity for trainees at these two centers is shadowed by the fact that trainees at the remaining five centres will not have any opportunity for training in cardiac surgery, with this model ultimately extending across the rest of the UK.

Ingrowing toenails (IGTN) cause significant discomfort for children and adults alike. Where conservative treatment fails, a surgical approach is usually adopted. Many surgical procedures have been described with varying complexity and outcome. We report a novel, simple technique which involves wedge excision of the ingrowing nail, and bipolar diathermy of the nail bed. Three-hundred and fifty-three procedures were carried out on 302 patients during the study period. Our re-operation rate for recurrence is 9.9%, which compares favourably with other techniques, and which lends itself to utilisation for minor surgery lists in primary care.
Professor Camilla Carroll is a Consultant Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital Dublin Ireland. She is a 1985 honours graduate of the RCSI Medical School and was awarded the FRCSI in General Surgery in 1989.

Following completion of specialist training, Ms Carroll was appointed as the American Joint Council for Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery Fellow to the University of Toronto, a position which she held for 2 years. Ms Carroll is committed to the advancement of surgery through science. Her MD research is in tissue transfer angiogenesis and neovascularisation, carried out in the Department of Surgery at the University of Louisiville, Kentucky. Currently, Ms Carroll's research focus is in the area of surgical education, transfer of surgical skills and postgraduate assessment. She was awarded an MEdSurgEd from Imperial College London in January 2019 and carried out dissertation research into Surgical Professionalism in the 21st Century. Ms Carroll is a surgical educator and postgraduate assessor, in the Court of Examiners RCSI, Dublin, Bahrain and Dubai for the intercollegiate MRCSI and the European Boards for Otolaryngology. She is a clinical assessor for the Department of Surgical Affairs RCSI Faculty of Human Factors and Patient Safety , the Undergraduate Medical School RCSI and a Clinical Senior Lecturer TCD medical school. Ms Carroll was appointed as the National Clinical Lead for ENT Education in Primary Care in 2017. This is a national leadership role in medical education and health care planning. One of the commitments of this programme is to improve patient access to publicay funded ENT services. Ms Carroll was elected to the RCSI Council in 2016, by her peers. All postgraduate surgical members and fellows in good standing of the RCSI are eligible to vote in the RCSI Council elections.

I have been committed to the advancement of surgery through science, throughout my surgical career. My postgraduate MD research evaluated the utility of bFGF and PDGF in angiogenesis and neovascularisation of the latissimus dorsi muscle for use in cardiomyoplasty. This research resulted in peer reviewed publications, international presentations and grant awards. The current focus of my research is in the domain of "Surgical Education". I was awarded a Master's degree in education surgical education (MEd SE) in January 2019 from Imperial College London, following peer review of my dissertation "What does it mean to be a professional surgeon in 21st Century Ireland", based on qualitative analysis of senior Irish Surgeons. The MEd SE is one of two Master's dedicated to surgical education worldwide. It is a taught Master's programme with an "exploratory and innovative curriculum". Over the past 4 years, I have undertaken research in the RVEEH in the domian of inter-professional skills transfer and assessment. The research output includes NDTP Spark funding, a 2018 Irish Healthcare Award, local and international presentations at ENT, Primary Care and Surgical Educational meetings. In 2017, I was appointed as the National Clinical Lead for ENT Education in Primary care. This is a national leadership role in clinical education. This role involves the development and implementation of a skills transfer curriculum and assessment model to up-skill primary care professionals in the delivery of ear - suctioning and epistaxis management. I have developed a standarised skills course with Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) assessment and an on-line training module, as part of this work stream. The next phase of this educational programme is the implementation of a "Train the trainer", course, which will result in a sustainanble model of care being implemented in the workplace. Approximately 30,000 patients will be eligible to be managed by the trained practictioners. This peer reviewed programme was presented as part of the "NCPS ENT Model of Care", at the 2018 RCSI Charter Meetings. Currently, I am part of the HSE working group on "Bullying and Harrasement in the workplace and education", the findings of which will be implemented as a HSE policy document. The NDTP have funded the "Civility" research programme on workplace bullying, I am a research member of this committee.
