About this webinar
A career as a SAS Anaesthetist should be filled with possibility and opportunity, and with the potential to achieve your career goals.
This series of webinars are targeted towards any current Specialty Doctor Anaesthetists looking to see how they can develop within a SAS career, and any medical managers looking to see how they might maximise the potential of their SAS team members. They may also be useful to anyone considering becoming a SAS doctor and wondering about the routes such a career might take, and the destinations they might lead to.
This is the second webinar in this series, covering extending your role beyond the clinical. It will provide insights into the contractual requirements to do so, the national documents supporting this progression and how to overcome the barriers you may encounter.
