Job overview

Chief registrars benefit from access to a bespoke development programme provided by the RCP, which runs from September 2019 to June 2020 and comprises five 2-day modules that chief registrars are expected to attend. Travel and accommodation expenses for chief registrars’ attendance at development programme modules can be reimbursed by the Trust.

* Involvement in and exposure to senior management and organisational decision-making.
The Trust Doctor (Chief Registrar) should attend departmental and divisional management meetings to gain an understanding of management and the wider social, political and economic influences on healthcare delivery.
The Chief Registrar will report to and be mentored by the Medical Director, a nominated deputy, or other senior clinical leader. The mentor role requires a minimum time commitment of monthly 1-hour meetings with the Chief Registrar.
