I can't tell you how proud this makes us. @ecewain.bsky.social is an absolute gem but now she has entered legendary status. Its a huge undertaking and personal sacrifice but one she does to inspire many others, SAS or other.

Today, we’re celebrating SAS doctors 🎉 We’re incredibly proud to end #SASWeek26 by hearing from Dr Emma Wain, who will become the Association’s first SAS President. What better way to celebrate SAS doctors than by hearing from someone helping to shape the future of SAS careers? ❤️ #SASWeek26

Recognition and representation are vital for SAS doctors, and there's still much more to do. That's why we're taking part in #SASWeek26, to celebrate and support SAS doctors.

The pay review body’s 3.5% pay ‘uplift’ is hugely disappointing for SAS and Consultants whose value and pay have been eroded for years. Senior doctors are standing together to push this Government to commit to improvements. On the 11 May we will open ballots for Industrial Action in England.

Fantastic to see an MP talking to SAS doctors about the issues we face. Our #SASsix campaign aims to lift the recognition of our bit of the workforce, support doctors to progress their careers, and achieve our potential as leaders and educators. Find out more here: www.sascollective.com/sassix
The SAS six campaign infographic, featuring a summary of the campaign asks:

1. Every early career SAS doctor should have access to an educational supervisor.

2. All SAS doctors should have equity of access to professional development opportunities relevant to their stage of career.

3. All specialty doctors who meet the required capabilities should have the opportunity to become specialists.

4. Senior SAS doctors should be offered the opportunity to be educators at every level on a par with consultants e.g. educational supervisors, clinical supervisors, directors of medical education.

5. All extended roles in leadership and management should be open to all substantive medical staff that is, consultants and appropriately experienced SAS doctors.

6. All LEDs employed for more than two years within one NHS employer should be offered the opportunity to transfer to the appropriate SAS contract.

Great to speak at the London SAS Conference with Specialty, Associate Specialist and Specialist doctors from across London. SAS doctors are the backbone of the NHS, delivering expert care every day, often without the recognition they deserve. Thank you for all you do.

SAS are often told they are "just for service". Nothing wrong with "service", thats why we all became doctors. But @drrosena.bsky.social shows a SAS career can have so much more potential. Leadership, QI, research, education or even being an MP!! #SASsix

Many survivors of domestic violence struggle to access forensic support, yet it is vital Without it, injuries may go undocumented. Without appropriate clinical care/management, cases may lack the evidence needed to hold perpetrators accountable. Survivors’ voices risk being left unheard or silenced
