Jim trained at Nottingham University Medical School and completed his BST on the Trent Basic Surgical Rotation. He is currently a 4th year SpR on the Wessex rotation and is working in Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. Jim's interest in the Argo project stems from a long standing frustration with the lack of organisation and guidance for registrars regarding courses and fellowships and a belief that the current word of mouth system was inadequate. His specific area of contribution has been in collating the fellowship information. |
