Fate of surgical registrars in the South-Western Region.
The fate of registrars in general surgery in the South-Western Region has been surveyed. Once a man has taken a registrarship in general surgery he is largely committed to surgery as a career. Consequently, if he fails to obtain promotion in the Health Service he emigrates, and as a result about 37% of British graduates who become surgical registrars eventually settle abroad.
