Acting up as a Consultant

Trainees who are within one year of their anticipated completion of training date are eligible to ‘Act up’ as consultants, for a fixed-term period of a maximum of three months (This is based upon a whole time equivalent). “Acting up” provides trainees with the experience of navigating the transition from junior doctor to consultant, whilst maintaining the supervision associated with being a trainee.

 

All trainees who wish to Act up should read through the ‘Acting up into a Consultant Policy and Procedure’ document and complete and return the application form contained in Appendix 1, which is available to download here.
