Develop skills in communication (including obtaining quality collateral histories and advance care planning) and participate in multidisciplinary team working.

You will attend (and contribute) at the Major Trauma service governance meetings.

You will be invited to attend the Frail-Elderly Trauma course which runs at the Trust twice a year.

Although this is not a formal training post, you will receive close clinical supervision in a supportive learning environment. You will receive educational opportunities and time to develop your interests and Portfolio.

We will care for your health and wellbeing alongside our training registrars and junior doctor team. You will work within this supportive team which is continually striving to learn and improve.
