Here in Leeds we currently have 73 Specialty & Associated Specialist (SAS) Doctors and 59 Trust Doctors - making up a significant amount of the medical workforce. Traditionally seen as the dependable and vital backbone of service provision within the NHS, we’re a diverse group and between us have a rich source of knowledge and experience to offer - and as such we each have our own personal and professional development needs. That’s why here in Leeds the Trust is passionate about supporting SAS and Trust doctors to access professional development opportunities and ultimately provide better patient care.
To help with this, we’ve developed this webpage to direct you to areas of support and help you access the various opportunities available here at the Trust.
