British Neurosurgical Trainees Association (BNTA)

The British Neurosurgical Trainees Asociation (BNTA) represents the opinions of all trainees in Neurosurgery.  

It meets every 6 months during the biannual Society of British Neurosurgery meeting. Details of these meetings can be found on either the SBNS or BNTA websites. The meetings are an opportunity to meet other trainees from around the UK and to provide a forum for discussion of any issues relevant to training that are raised. You can see the minutes from previous meetings on the BNTA website.

Outside of formal meetings, the BNTA communicates through an email list. Trainees are kept up to date with forthcoming training events, and the email group is a forum for discussion of ideas. If you want to join the group, please follow the links on the website. You must be a neurosurgical trainee and be invited by the moderator to join.   

The BNTA committee provides representatives to a number of organsations, including ASiT, SAC and the SBNS council. These positions are elected from within the BNTA and are voices of the trainee community. You can find out more about all these other roles from the website.
