The investigators postulate that there is a difference in the acquisition of Fundamental Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) between general surgical and Obstetrics \& Gynaecology (O\&G) trainees. This discrepancy is also likely to influence the musculoskeletal and cognitive fatigue trainees experience within both specialties. Additionally there is likely to be a discrepancy in the expectations of consultants and trainees on skills perceived to be important at the completion of training (CCT). This study aims to compare and evaluate the discrepancy in FLS acquisition amongst O\&G and GS trainees in order to identify areas for improvements in the training pathway, the associated fatigue experience and highlight the expectations perceived to be required at the completion of training.
