We’d like to confirm that our SAS doctors are also safe and well—currently more concerned with airways than airspace.

Your regular reminder that #SASdoctors and #SASdentists should not be referred to as "middle grade".
(and if you need further reason to avoid it, check out the middlegrade hashtag on this or other social media sites)
SAS doctors should be referred to by the contract they are on, for example specialty doctors, specialists, associate specialists or in short, SAS doctors. Employers are advised not to use the term middle grade to refer to SAS doctors as there is no such grade. Employers are also advised not to use the term middle grade rota but instead use more acceptable terms such as SAS rota or where the staff groups are mixed, it may also be referred to as higher specialty trainee and SAS rota.

SAS doctors have had to work harder to get where they are. Not everyone has the support and background to succeed through the National UK training pathways. As a Registrar my SAS colleagues taught me so much and we are friends #SASdoctors @sascollective.com

First time in a long time that I've done a Google search that only returned one result.

The search term: "SAS clinical academics"

(The one result: a tweet by @clujinmyheart.bsky.social pointing out the need for more support for such roles)

Huge congrats to @sas-gas-thomas.bsky.social who has secured a Specialist post in his trust. The senior SAS contract was designed for people like him (experienced, working autonomously, and broad portfolio of clin/non-clin interests). He deserves it 👏 👌 👍 #SASdoctors @robjimfleming.bsky.social

Employers - please always consider whether any of your consultant vacancies could be advertised as Specialist grade posts! This not only supports more innovative and balanced workforce planning but creates a better career structure for your SAS workforce. #SASdoctors 7/

Lots of engagement at the #GoSWH conference with Prof Sheona MacLeod's update on the Long Term Workforce Plan and lots for us to reflect on . As ever, plenty of emphasis on the importance of educational supervisor capacity but also the support of #SASdoctors and #LEDs #GoSWHConf24

Let’s make sure our Specialist, Associate Specialist, and Specialty (SAS) colleagues are recognised too! SAS doctors drive innovation, education, and inclusion every day—often without the spotlight.
