• The rapidly evolving changes in working patterns, career structure and the regulation of training of doctors have provided an ideal opportunity for proposals to improve the programme for the training of neurosurgeons. The Education and Training Committee of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons (D.G. Hardy, A. J. W. Steers, N. T. Gurusinghe, P. M. Foy, P. van Hille, R. A. Cowie, H. A. Crockard, O. Sparrow and S. Burn) has, in recent months, worked closely with the Specialist Advisory Committee (SAC) in neurosurgery, Department of Health (Modernizing Medical Careers Group, H. A. Crockard, A. Havers, T. Hobbs) and colleagues from the major neuroscience specialties to develop a new programme based on a 'Common Stem ' approach. This article describes the principles of the programme. The proposals have received approval by the Council of the SBNS, the Presidents of the four Surgical Royal Colleges and the Senate of Surgery.
