Hi Cabtineluc,

Your enquiry is really complex and would be best answered by a more suitable individual who is acquainted with the system at the highest level.

Can I recommend you to visit the following websites:
http://www.pmetb.org.uk/ - The Postgraduate Medical Education Training Board, who oversee postgraduate training in all specialties in the UK

http://www.rcoa.ac.uk/ - The Royal College of Anaesthetists, this is the professional body of anaesthetists in the UK.

Hopefully the resources and contacts on these pages will be of use to you.

all the best for your training.
