LED-SAS-IMG Doctors
Dr Elwina Timehin
Consultant Audiovestibular Physician
SAS-LED Tutor
I am the Tutor for all Specialty and Specialist (SAS) doctors and dentists and Locally Employed Doctors (LEDs) including International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in the Trust.
I provide support and guidance for this group of doctors.
For the SAS doctors and dentists, we are working on facilitating the development of career pathways and implementing the SAS Charter in the Trust:
Continuous professional development is essential for all doctors in order to re-validate and remain on their professional registers. Staff are encouraged to and can access internal courses such as leadership development programmes. Additionally, St George’s SAS Tutor holds a small fund for SAS doctors undertaking development and training courses for CESR/Portfolio pathways. SAS doctors are invited to apply for a special funding contribution to these course fees using the Medical (SAS) Continued Professional Development Application Form
For the LEDs we are working on enhancing working experience and supporting career development with a view to improving staff recruitment and retention.
We have an excellent IMG program which includes, Enhanced Induction, Mentoring scheme, IMG Welcome Kit and IMG forum:
