Welcome Event 2016 review

We had a great time meeting many of our new trainees on Monday afternoon at Addenbrooke's!

The Network Co-Chairs, Alex and Rachel, explained a bit about the Network as well as giving some advice on rotations and competences, ahead of the information that will be presented at the National Induction in Birmingham on Wednesday.

John Hutchinson, Lead Cardiac Physiologist at Papworth, talked about being a Training Officer and what TOs expect from their trainees.

23 people attended in total, and we had a great Q&A session at the end covering a range of topics. Many thanks to all of those who filled in a feedback form - these are really useful for helping us to improve future events.

The slides presented by Rachel and Alex can be viewed here, with some additional information at the end not presented on the day.

We hope that, if you attended, you enjoyed meeting your new local colleagues, and that you have a great time meeting your specialism colleagues on Wednesday at the National Induction!

Have you registered for the Network?

Are you involved in the STP in the East of England? You might be a trainer, a rotation supervisor, a third year trainee, or just about to start your training. This Network is for you! 

If you're involved in the HSST instead, we'd also love you to register - we'd like to expand to work with you too, and this is the best way to make contact with us.

We set up a Google Form to make it quick and easy for you to register. Find it here if you haven't already registered.

We take protection of your data seriously. Only the Chairs and other selected members of the board have access to it, and we will use it only to try to benefit your training - for planning events, and for communications from the National School.

We look forward to hearing from you!
