They are cardiothoracics, neurosurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedics, haematology/oncology and colorectal surgery. You'll also have the opportunity to experience specialty areas including intensive care, recovery, peri-operative care, and cardiac/vascular. You won't be thrown in the deep end.
