SAS DOCTORS

Working closely with the Medical Education Faculty and Health Education Kent, Surrey & Sussex (HEKSS), Mr Mohanlal, as the SAS Tutor supports SAS Doctors working across all Trust specialties.

​

Medway SAS grade provides an opportunity to have a rewarding career whilst gaining experience and professional skills. We support activities which promote well being and professional development for SAS doctors. We endorse the SAS collective six and offer support to SAS doctors. 

​

We organise CPD courses throughout the year and encourage SAS doctors to attend courses to enable them to take up managerial and leadership managerial roles in the trust. Please check this webpage for workshops and courses that are locally run with links to external courses as well. We also run monthly open forums and offer support for doctors going through the CESR/Portfolio pathway, including regular CESR clubs. 

​

In addition to the normal study leave budget, HEKSS provides us with separate SAS professional developmental funding to support specific career development opportunities (for those who are in substantive posts only). The allocation of funding is used for group training to allow funds to be used more flexibly but individual applications are also considered. The SAS Tutor shall discuss the priority of allocation of funding with the SAS doctors and any special needs/developmental requirements should be in keeping with the departmental and Trust objectives; the DME should be kept up to date with the local requirements. 

Trust Applications usually open for one month between September and October and the SAS Administrator will contact Trust SAS Doctors to invite applications.
