The proportion of female graduates is increasing year on year. Female intake to medical schools equals 60% on average, with many schools now reporting figures nearer to 70–80%. 1 Despite this increase in absolute numbers, women continue to be underrepresented in many specialist training programmes, including surgery. Women currently make up only 6% of UK consultants, 16% of SpRs and 27% of SHOs in surgical specialties.
