We are thrilled whenever a new Trust wishes to use the #SASsix in their approach to their medical workforce.
Every doctor needs support to progress their career, opportunity to reach their potential, and the right contract for their work.
Bravo, NHS West London.

Achievable is an important word in all of this. A contract that people can't access is pretty pointless.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

There aren't enough postgraduate training numbers for doctors in the NHS.
Most departments have gaps requiring doctors.
There are doctors in need of jobs.
The solution to these issues are the two SAS contracts. They provide permanence, and an alternative career pathway for doctors.

Motion carried by universal agreement.
We need to gather these data. Knowing how many SAS leaders there are allows us to assess the trends. Measuring this also sets the expectation that this is important.
