Enjoying the Midlands SAS Conference. @michellepooley.bsky.social and @elliepattinsonnhs.bsky.social are always a highlight, and are today talking about the barriers faced by SAS doctors from an NHS Employers perspective. Nice that the #SASsix and @sascollective.com got a mention or two.

I seem to have gained quite a few followers this week. Thanks, folks! For anyone who doesn't know already, I spend a lot of time talking about SAS doctors. SAS doctors exist in the UK healthcare system as folks who aren't in formal training programmes, and who aren't usually consultants or GPs.

A slide from a presentation on SAS doctors, describing some of the history of the roles, including old contracts, such as "Staff Grade" and "Associate Specialist" and introducing the modern equivalents, "Specialty Doctor" and "Specialist".
