Calmanisation of surgical training has led to the introduction of the concept of a two-year basic surgical training (BST) rotation. Successful completion of this training is assessed by the new MRCS/AFRCS examination. Within these constraints there is no room for the previously popular anatomy demonstrating posts. The aim of this study, therefore, was to examine the views of FRCS and MRCS surgical trainees about their own demonstrating experience, their current anatomical knowledge and on the future value of anatomy demonstrating.
