The syllabus is linked with a number of related surgical specialties during the first two years of training (themed training). Thereafter training is conducted solely within the specialty unless interface modules are taken during the final years.

The minimum objective of training is to produce specialist surgeons who are emergency safe and can manage the common conditions set out in the syllabus, from start to finish. At successful completion of training, CCT holders will also possess a depth and breadth of knowledge that permits accurate diagnosis and assessment of a wide range of conditions and onwards referral as appropriate.
