“…The current cohort of surgical trainees are required to gain the same surgical competencies as previous generations during a time of limited operative exposure, reduced trainee-trainer interaction time and increased workload of supervising surgeons [2,3,11,12].…”

Purpose of Review Simulation-based training is an integral component of surgical training. It allows practice of technical skills within a safe environment without compromising patient safety. This article seeks to review current virtual and non-virtual reality simulation models within the literature and review their validation status. Recent Findings Many simulation models exist within otolaryngology and are currently being used for education. New models are also continuously being developed; however, validity should be proven for the models before incorporating their use for educational purposes. Validity should be determined by experts and trainees themselves. Summary A validated simulation curriculum should be incorporated within the otolaryngology training programme. A curriculum based on the current training programme at our institution serves as an exemplar for local adoption.

“…The only measure reported by medical registrars to have improved when the working time regulations came into force was work-life balance, with over 55% saying it was better following the 48-hour week. 14 The failure to understand the importance of this balance is another reason that it has been difficult to reach agreement with a new junior doctors' contract. The push from employers has been to create a contract that allows increased weekend working without increased costs.…”

In 2013, the Royal College of Physicians published The medical registrar: empowering the unsung heroes of patient care. This report showed that workload, teamwork, training and fl exibility were the key factors in determining job satisfaction and morale for medical registrars. Since the report, some progress has been made in each of these four areas. Reduction in workload by development of new parts of the hospital workforce has started and the junior doctors' industrial action has forced the NHS and employers to look afresh at both workload and training aspects. The creation of chief registrars and guardians of safe working has started to create a supporting framework to improve professional working lives and training. Teamwork and support from consultants is perhaps the biggest opportunity to improve matters. However, the NHS remains infl exible and making the medical registrar post attractive to those in earlier stages of training is the biggest challenge.

“…The EWTD, introduced in 2004, requires the NHS to work in line with its European counterparts with the aim of reducing long working hours with a possible beneficial effect on patient safety. However its introduction has had a negative impact on training (Benes, ; Goddard et al , ; Datta et al , ; Ipsos MORI, ; Simpson et al , ; Hartle et al , ). Compliance with the EWTD may lead to trainees being absent on days when teaching activities are occurring.…”
