The department is fully committed to the practice of Medical and Clinical Audit and you will be expected to take part in this process.
The department has a programme of continuing quality improvement, in which you may become involved.
You are encouraged to formulate clinical projects and be capable of performing and interpreting audit findings.
This Trust encourages junior medical staff to study for approved postgraduate qualification and it is therefore important that junior doctors should discuss their study leave requirements with their consultants and the clinical tutors early in their appointment.
