Oxleas and the SAS Doctor Charter
Our focus is on ensuring that the huge contribution of SAS Doctors is valued and their personal development prioritised. Here are a few of the ways Oxleas recognises this:
After joining Oxleas you will be welcomed by our SAS Tutor, with a personal meeting to discuss your development needs and how Oxleas can help.
You will have access to wide range of training and development days in Oxleas, and across the other South London NHS Trusts, which are specifically for SAS Doctors.
Anyone considering a CESR application will receive support from Oxleas and we are proud to have had successful applicants with several SAS Doctors who are currently in the process of applying.
Recently introduced in Oxleas is that all substantive SAS doctors with seven or more years' in the grade will be eligible for two additional days of annual leave per annum.
The SAS Charter sets out what support Staff and Associate Specialist (SAS) doctors have available and what they can expect from their employers.
