How to get involved as an SAS Doctor

In recent years an increasing number of doctors have chosen to become SAS doctors rather than enter higher speciality training and this trend is set to continue as the demographic of the medical workforce changes and greater flexibility in working hours is sought.

SAS doctors have distinct training and educational needs from those of doctors in training and consultants. They are a diverse group with individual and often highly specialised skills. We believe it is vital that SAS doctors are better supported and that the SAS role must become a more attractive career option if we do not wish to risk losing highly skilled doctors from hospital medicine.
