Calling all SAS, LED & IMG #doctors, for far too long your roles have been undervalued

Do you need a sense of belonging?

We support #SASsix calls for change and as the #HospitalDoctorsUnion, we can influence as our membership grows

Be part of that change & join us #SAScampaign @sascollective.com

HCSA – the hospital doctors' union @hcsa-com.bsky.social · 14d

Great to see support growing for the #SASsix initiative. HCSA is proud to have been the first organisation to formally support this campaign and we continue to stand with other supporting organisations to support the SAS Six campaign. The #HospitalDoctorsUnion - working together to create change.
