We have regular formal education half days for the junior doctor team along with regular audit meetings with educational themes often combined with Wrexham ENT Dept. The department can be busy with on-call and ward duties but there is usually opportunity to get to clinics and theatres for supernumerary educational opportunities. The Emergency clinic / ward attender appointments are run by the junior doctor team and is a great introduction to ENT out-patient cases.

Development of junior doctor’s knowledge, clinical skills and surgical experience is a high priority and is individually encouraged. Career progress is promoted and within our department recently a SHO grade doctor is now on the middle grade duties and many previous SHO have gone on to GP and other specialty training schemes. We can help develop individual’s CV for career development and reward enthusiasm.
