About this webinar
The introduction of a new contract is a significant event in any
doctor's career. The 2021 SAS contract reform in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland involves changes to the Specialty Doctor grade, and
re-introduces a senior grade, the "Specialist".
The aim of this webinar is to provide important details surrounding the
new contracts and how these changes might affect SAS anaesthetists,
those who manage them, and those interested in a SAS career. This will
include focus on the Specialist grade and what differentiates a
Specialist Anaesthetist from a Specialty Doctor, or a Consultant.
Speakers will make the case for the 2021 Specialty Doctor and Specialist
roles from the point of view of individual doctors, Local Negotiating
Committees, and Clinical Directors. We hope to empower Specialty Doctors
who believe they are already working as Specialists to have
conversations with their managers about how this might be recognised.
Login will be available from 17:45, but the broadcast will not start until 18:00.
