At HEE East of England we recognise the importance of planning your career in a timely fashion.Access into training can take many routes and will partially depend on your previous experience. The links will give you some information about your eligibility and requirements for application into specialty training.

For some doctors non training posts will be preferable. You can access career advice for Staff Associate Specialists and Locally Employed Doctors. 

In whatever post you are in keeping evidence of your learning and development is vital. This is collated in an electronic portfolio (Eportfolio). This will be provided by your specialty training programme and royal college. If you are not in a training post you can still gain access to an eportfolio through your royal college or a generic portfolio through your trust.

The evidence should take the form of various workplace based assessments (WBPA). The BMJ have written an article describing WBPA's. This will help you how to document your learning journey.
