The 嫩草影院 has published new educational and career guidance for specialist, associate specialist and specialty (SAS) doctors.
SAS and locally employed (LE) doctors are the fastest growing part of the medical workforce on the GMC medical register, . Playing a vital role in the NHS, . Most work in senior roles in the NHS, treating and caring for thousands of patients every day, many running their own clinics and working autonomously.
In publishing this guidance, the 嫩草影院 hopes to encourage employers and clinical leads to think about how they can create a high-quality local training pathway for SAS doctors. Every doctor should have the time and support to continuously learn and develop throughout their career.
Dr Naeem Aziz, SAS lead said:
鈥楳ore needs to be done to support SAS doctors. The NHS does not always recognise, value or support these doctors to progress in their education and their careers. It is time to put that right.
鈥楢ll doctors need protected time to learn, teach and lead. The educational and professional development of SAS doctors is as important as it is for any other doctor in the health service 鈥 and we hope that this guidance will raise the profile of these doctors.
鈥楢fter all, there is no such thing as a 鈥渘on-training鈥 doctor.'
