This focused webinar is part of a monthly series developed in collaboration with the ASGBI, The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh's Specialty Sub-Board (SSB), and the Trainee Committee. It is designed to support those preparing for the General Surgery FRCS Exam. The webinar will provide an overview of Endocrine Surgery for the exam focusing on the assessment and management of thyroid nodules and adrenal masses. The discussion will explore the role of imaging, and indications, risks and benefits for surgical intervention.

Aims
