SAS Doctors’ development opportunities

Wessex has set expectations that trusts have a responsibility to ensure that SAS doctors are getting involved in training.

Wessex SAS tutors have details about the opportunities available to SAS doctors within their trust.

SAS doctors should ask their SAS tutor for this information.

The programme is suitable for educators working across all areas of clinical and healthcare education including, for example, clinical tutors, educational supervisors, doctors, nurses, dentists, and those wishing to develop a special interest in education or who are managing education programmes.

We are able to consider applications for funding for completion of the Post Graduate Certificate (PG Cert), which will give participants a platform to progress onto completion of the PG Diploma or MA if they wish. Whichever elements you complete, we hope you will not only see your educational practice in new ways, with greater insight, but also share your learning in your own educational contexts to inspire and lead.

Please visit the PgCert in Medical Education page for further information.

There are now 12 SAS doctors who were selected and trained to deliver the role of Specialty Trainer. Specialty Trainers can be contacted to deliver training days.

Further information can be found in the Wessex Specialty Trainers Directory.

It is recognised that SAS doctors may also be heavily involved in education, and the Medical Education Fellow (MEF) role has been expanded to include Wessex SAS doctors.

See the Medical Education Fellowship Programme page for more information.

Wessex SAS doctors are also eligible to access the following types of courses via the Learning and Development section of this website.

– Leadership, management and personal development
– Medical specialty and revision

A range of Wessex conferences can be accessed via the Learning and Development section of this website.
