This is an 10.199 PA post, with the potential for additional/optional PA, for additional responsibilities to fit service needs.
Split of PA is as follows:
- 8.448 PAs for Direct Clinical Activity

The initial SPA of 1.5 is sufficient for revalidation purposes and attendance at audit and clinical governance meetings and supervising the teaching of medical students.
