The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is pleased to announce
the introduction of these new roles aimed at doctors who are passionate about
their practice and their career, and those who require temporary posts outside
traditional models. Our posts will combine education and career development
with practical patient-facing care. They would particularly suit individuals
looking to increase their anaesthetic experience prior to applying for
specialty training or at the end of training prior to applying for consultant
posts.
These posts are not recognised UK training posts but will be
treated as a trainee equivalent. MYDoc doctors will have a named supervisor and
be supported in undertaking scheduled educational opportunities to consolidate
and develop alongside their experiential learning, with certificated outcomes
or credentialing to support career progression.
