Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will have a named consultant supervisor and undergo regular appraisal and actively take part in the GMC revalidation process. During these meetings any specific training requirements and educational goals can be defined.
TEACHING AND RESEARCH/STUDY AND TRAINING
The post can provide the applicant experience in anaesthetic subspecialty blocks not available in most hospitals subject to availability. It is envisaged that such experience if appropriately documented and supported with work placed based assessments and regular appraisal would be of benefit to those seeking to join speciality training in Anaesthesia.
There is an excellent range of postgraduate medical activities at Leeds Teaching Hospitals directed by the PGME centre which has bases at both the Leeds General Infirmary and St James's University Hospital.

As such we have extensive experience of supporting and preparing trainees in their professional goals of achieving the FRCA examinations and securing consultant positions. We have a highly skilled and motivated consultant body who maintain a strong interest in teaching, training and examining, and this culture will be of benefit to those wishing to complete FRCA examinations.
