The SAS six national support slide, now including RCPysch!
We are absolutely ecstatic that as part of their #SASweek25 celebrations, the @rcpsych.bsky.social have decided to become the sixth college support the #SASsix campaign. We love it!
They have announced this on X, hopefully they will do so here too in due course.
Bravo, psychiatry!

The logos of the 11 Trusts who have now formally adopted the SAS six, including NHS West London.
The SAS Collective polar bear mascot points to the viewer and says "this could be you!"
We are thrilled whenever a new Trust wishes to use the #SASsix in their approach to their medical workforce.
Every doctor needs support to progress their career, opportunity to reach their potential, and the right contract for their work.
Bravo, NHS West London.
Welcome to the family!

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.
