The SAS Charter

bma-sas-charter-for-england-dec-2014.pdf

The SAS charter was created by the BMA and NHS employers to help SAS doctors with their development and provide opportunities in their workplace.

In collaboration with NHS Employers, Health Education England and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, the BMA published the SAS charter for England in 2014. The BMA have since adapted the SAS charter for all other UK nations

What is included in the Charter?

The SAS charter has been developed to help with holding employers accountable and provide greater development and working opportunities.

The themes in the charters are based around:

  • minimum conditions of employment
  • revalidation, appraisal and job planning
  • helping SAS doctors to feel effectively supported
  • opportunities for development
  • involvement in management structures.

At SGH we are currently working towards developing all the above.
