SAS Doctors Funding for Individual Development

If you are looking to access development specifically tailored to your own individual developmental needs this is something that should be discussed in your appraisal with your employer. We encourage you to utilise your employing Trust's study leave budget to benefit your own individual needs in the first instance.

If you are interested in undertaking a highly unique or extraordinary development opportunity we encourage you to initiate a conversation with your SAS Tutor or SAS Specialty Lead to discuss career progression and service benefits.
