The London Postgraduate School of Surgery has increased its minimum requirement for workplace-based assessments (WBAs) from 40 to 80 per annum. Specialty trainees were alerted to this increase by email in March 2012. This has been the requirement for core trainees since October 2011. In response to this increase for specialty trainees, an online survey was carried out to ascertain trainee and trainer opinion.
