- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many surgeons are qualified to undertake L5 S1 anterior fusion surgery in (a) Merseyside, (b) the north-west and (c) the UK.
- Answer
-
The number of surgeons qualified to undertake L5 S1 anterior fusion surgery in Merseyside, the north-west and the United Kingdom is not collected by the Department. L5 S1 anterior fusion surgery is not a recognised Certificate of Completion of Training qualification, but is based on a doctor’s interest and experience.
The content and standard of medical training is the responsibility of the General Medical Council informed by the relevant Medical Royal College.
Where additional training is required for individual posts, it is delivered by continuing professional development (CPD). CPD is the responsibility of individual practitioners and their employers.
