The Post

This post is aimed at post foundation doctors at ST1 or ST2 level who have completed a foundation medical training programme and can demonstrate foundation competencies (or equivalent). You may be seeking further experience of psychiatry in which you have a longer term interest (e.g. future entry into specialty or general practice training), or to provide a professional development supplement to support other career options longer term. This post is not a recognised training grade but may be the right opportunity for you to develop and evidence clinical and professional competence to assist overall CV development.

An educational supervisor (a senior clinician) will be appointed to support you to formulate a Personal Development Plan and a paper-based portfolio mapped to an appropriate curriculum.
