The Covid-19 Pandemic had a significant impact on the trajectory of training in General Surgery in the UK. Training extensions were more likely to be recommended later in training. There was considerable variation in the use of Covid-19 ARCP outcomes across the UK. There is ongoing evidence of differential attainment at ARCP in General Surgery, with female trainees and older graduates having greater chances of nonstandard outcomes. The underlying reasons for these associations need to be explored. Efforts to urgently address deficits in training post Covid-19 with an awareness of the intersectional nature of differential attainment are needed.
