Join the SCTS. The Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland was founded in 1934 (originally Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons of GB & Ireland) . It was initially devoted to the practice of thoracic surgery, which at that time was mostly for tuberculosis. After World War II, with such pioneers as Lord Brock and Sir Thomas Holmes-Sellors, cardiac surgery was introduced and the number of cardiothoracic surgeons steadily increased.
