December Edition JASGBI 2013 - 41 Editorial

David Rew

Welcome to the December 2013 edition of the Journal of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (JASGBI). We hope that it will offer you an opportunity for relaxation and reflection at the end of a busy and disruptive year. Once again, we have sought to offer you a Christmas feast of articles covering the spectrum of events which touch upon the lives of ASGBI members and staff.
Training issues are high on the agenda, and we have yet to digest in full the implications of the Greenaway report as we go to press. ASGBI is the GMC recognised representative body for general surgery through our SAC functions, and Gareth Griffiths provides a detailed and authoritative account of the current state of play in the SAC for General Surgery. None of you will underestimate the meticulous attention to detail and process, and the quietly understated efficiency which is the hallmark of Gareth’s work, and which has gone in to creating this report. We are very grateful to him for this synopsis.
