Whilst in post Junior Fellows will complete the annual appraisal process and work towards revalidation. Completion of all mandatory training required by the Trust goes some way towards ensuring positive appraisal outcomes.
It is expected that the post holder will keep up to date with both internal and external continuous professional development. Study Leave can be requested for specific training needs that will provide benefit to your role and progression.
