The treatment of patients with suspected appendicitis in the UK is too variable, and this impacts on patient outcomes.
Check out this new RCT that hopes to address this, improve care for patients and ultimately improve outcomes.

Ever wanted to do 'high-performance surgical research' but thought it's not for you? We'd love to hear from you.
>If you've benchmarked, we have an ACF post in general surgery available.
>If you're thinking about doing a PhD in April/October 2025, get in touch. We're very supportive of female applicants and have an inclusive environment.

🔥6 modern lessons in appendicitis every uptodate surgeon should know 👉
Appendicitis is common, it’s hard to diagnose, and every surgeon has an opinion.
