Faculty names not published
Official 2025 fellowship prospectus downloaded and searched. Aortic course and MCh eligibility verified, but no named director/faculty. Official annual reports 2016–17 and 2020–21 confirm course launch/enrolment without current programme-specific teaching assignment. Current CTVS surgical positions alone are insufficient.
