Induction resources
Welcome to the role of Consultant or SAS doctor in NHS Lothian.
Whether you are new to the board or simply new to the role we are delighted you have joined our team.
These pages provide links and access to induction materials, ongoing CPD, networking and support opportunities.
We have divided this page into a section for induction resources and a section for ongoing development and CPD opportunities.
A great way to stay up to date is by joining our First 5 CPD Microsoft team. The programme content is primarily developed for Consultant and SAS colleagues in their first 5 years of post however there will be subjects that are of interest to the wider Consultant/SAS body, or HSTs and we would encourage you to share details with them- everyone is welcome!
We appreciate that virtual content and meetings, whilst convenient, can lack warmth and energy. To counter this we are developing a programme of regular site welcome days. You can register interest and see dates as their published here.
