SAS doctors are a diverse group of physicians who range from having four years’ experience to senior doctors practising independently.
From 22–26 August we’re celebrating SAS week 2022 – our second annual celebration of SAS colleagues. With something new every day of the week, this year we’ll be focusing on the following themes:
Developing SAS practice – our bespoke SAS week 2022 webinar
Now available on RCP Player.
SAS physicians tell us about their career journeys, sharing how to be effective appraisers, developers, leaders and policy influencers.
The webinar is worth 1 CPD credit. Registration is free and it’s available on demand until 22 November 2022.
