Each of the Acute, Community and Mental Health Trusts in NHS England have appointed a SAS Tutor whose primary role is to provide support and guidance for SAS Doctors and Dentists in the Trust. The Tutor should be the first port of call for any SAS Doctor needing advice or guidance. Part of the Tutor's role is to liaise with the Director of Medical Education within the Trust and to enhance the profile of SAS Doctors.
Please see the information below on the SAS Tutors in each of the Trusts in the East of England. You will also find a list of SAS Specialty Leads who have volunteered to provide specialty specific guidance and advise to SAS Doctors.
