Maybe to start off with, can you tell us, tell me a bit about your roles at the moment, particularly regarding leadership?

Sure.

So I'm an SAS doctor working as a specialist neurotologist in Nottingham University Hospitals.

And I became a SAS specialty doctor in neonates in 2012 and progressed to a specialist grade in 2021.

Alongside my clinical roles, I've always had a strong interest in leadership, education and advocacy for SAS doctors.

I joined the R6CH SAS committee in 2015 and served two terms, which was quite a steep but incredibly valuable learning journey for me.

And about four years ago, I became co-chair of the SAS committee, and I also represent R6CH on the AOMRC SAS committee.

So can you tell me, just to set the scene a bit more, about what SAS Doctors, what that acronym stands for, a bit more about the different roles that are included and how they contribute to the NHS?
