About the role

The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is pleased to announce the introduction of these new roles aimed at doctors who are passionate about their practice and their career, and those who require temporary posts outside traditional models. Our posts will combine education and career development with practical patient‑facing care. They would particularly suit individuals looking to increase their anaesthetic experience prior to applying for specialty training or at the end of training prior to applying for consultant posts.

These posts are not recognised UK training posts but will be treated as a trainee equivalent. MYDoc doctors will have a named supervisor and be supported in undertaking scheduled educational opportunities to consolidate and develop alongside their experiential learning, with certificated outcomes or credentialing to support career progression.

This post would provide regular lists with the opportunity to develop a wide portfolio of regional anaesthetic techniques under expert supervision.

Simulation. With a busy department, we hold regular multi‑disciplinary training sessions to improve the care in emergency scenarios or in rare conditions.
