BSoT Executive Committee
BSoT (formerly SURG) provides a forum for members training in the UK and Ireland to discuss and express opinion about training issues arising on a Regional or National level.
Issues that will affect trainees and Consultant Urologists within the NHS are debated, and these opinions will be put forward on behalf of members by the Executive Committee. BSoT also represents urological trainees at relevant national meetings including the SAC, ASiT and ESRU, as well as on BAUS council.
