RCPE Trainees & Members Committee LTFT Survey - deadline Friday 30th June
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Trainees and Members’ Committee have created a Less Than Full Time (LTFT) survey to gather data on Doctors in Training perspectives, experiences, workload and barriers to LTFT. The results will inform meaningful policy recommendations on improving doctors' working lives.
Their aim is to ascertain current numbers of LTFT in all specialties of Doctors in Training across all four nations.
This survey is for everyone - whether you are a current LTFT trainee, previous LTFT trainee, or whether you work full time. You do not need to be a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh to complete the survey.
This survey is anonymous and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. The deadline for completing the survey is Friday 30 June 2023.
To submit to the survey, please use this link: https://education-rcpe.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/rcpe-trainees-and-members-committee-ltft-survey
National Sarcoma Awareness Project 2023 - free e-learning module
The National Sarcoma Awareness Project is re-launching following successful National Sarcoma Awareness Projects which ran in June/July/August over the past decade.
The project is being run in co-ordination with National Sarcoma Awareness Month (July 2023) and is aimed at increasing sarcoma awareness in final year medical students and foundation doctors. Final year medical students, foundation year 1 and foundation year 2 doctors are invited to complete a free e-learning module on sarcomas as part of the project. On completion, the medical students/foundation doctors will receive a certificate for their e-portfolio and the top scoring participants will be given the opportunity to take part in a funded short-term clinical fellowship at a regional sarcoma centre to further their knowledge on sarcoma and boost their CV.
If you are interested in taking part, please email sarcomaawareness@liverpoolft.nhs.uk
