The post-holders are expected to maintain and develop their clinical skills through the weekly clinical session provided (duties for which will be arranged by local negotiation dependent on the previous experience of the trainee / their desired clinical development) and through a commitment to regular on-call activity in evening / weekend hours. Banding will be at 1C however their pay banding will be adjusted to reflect the level of their on-call activity.
The post holders are expected to comply with formal supervisory and assessment processes in regard to both their clinical and teaching activities.
