ANZ Journal of Surgery

The ANZ Journal of Surgery is the leading publication for surgical research in Australia and New Zealand. The Journal is published by Wiley-Blackwell 10 times a year, with an extra supplement in the May that carries all the abstracts of research papers delivered at the College's Annual Scientific Congress.

Position papers

The College has developed position papers that represent the recommendations of the College and preferred position on surgical issues.

Surgical News

Surgical News is a monthly publication of the College, with articles of interest in surgery, news about College events and courses, features on surgical subjects, Fellows and current research activities, and news on the College's overseas programs.

Every second month, the publication comes with an audio CD, Surgical News Extra, with interviews on articles featured in Surgical News and practical advice that surgeons can implement in their business/practice.

Fellowship Survey

It is important that the views of Fellows are regularly gauged to ensure that College activities continue to meet the needs of the Fellowship at large and that these activities represent value for money. Fellows' feedback is essential to the College's strategic planning and contributes to the ongoing success of our organisation. Access the 2010 Fellowship Satisfaction Survey (members only).
