HCSA – the hospital doctors' union

SAS doctors keep the NHS running but many face bullying, limited career progression & exclusion from leadership opportunities. Today’s theme for #SASWeek25 is wellbeing. Please share your experience in HCSA’s survey & help us drive change

SAS six infographic, featuring the six asks to make a SAS career a viable alternative. Every early career SAS doctor should have access to an educational supervisor. All SAS doctors should have equity of access to professional development opportunities relevant to their stage of career. All specialty doctors who meet the required capabilities should have the opportunity to become specialists. 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. All extended roles in leadership and management should be open to all substantive medical staff that is, consultants and appropriately experienced SAS doctors. All LEDs employed for more than two years within one NHS employer should be offered the opportunity to transfer to the appropriate SAS contract.

Happy #SASweek25 to all who celebrate.

Remember, a SAS doctor is for life, not just SAS week.
