About HE KSS
HE KSS is responsible for Postgraduate Medical and Dental Training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex within the boundaries of Health Education Kent Sussex Surrey. This covers a large geographical area and is defined to the North by the M25 motorway with Trusts residing inside the M25 falling under Health EducationSouth London .
KSS covers 12 Acute Trusts and 3 Mental Health Trusts.
Trainee doctors, from here on referred to as trainees, can follow various routes to achieve consultant or GP status. Listed here is the route that the majority of trainees will follow, culminating in receiving a CCT certificate at final completion of their training. Details of other routes to achieve this can be found in “The Gold Guide”, a copy of which can be found in your induction packs.
The majority of UK graduates will have completed 4/5 years at Medical School.
- The Medical School located within KSS is based at Brighton – Brighton Medical School (BSMS), Brighton Sussex University Hospital (BSUH)
Trainees then complete 2 years in Foundation Schools which gives them exposure and insight to a variety of specialties.
- The South Thames Foundation School is part of HE KSS and works in collaboration with and on behalf of the London Deanery to support approximately 950 trainees across KSS and including London hospitals south of the Thames.
Trainees then choose how they wish to specialise, which they enter via a competitive recruitment process. This may be as a trainee GP or as a trainee hospital doctor. GP’s currently complete 3 years training, which includes a combination of GP training within GP practices, coupled with hospital based training spread across a variety of specialties.
Trainee GP’s are managed via the GP Department within HE KSS.
Specialty trainees are managed bythe SpecialtyWorkforce Department within HE KSS.
Trainee hospital based doctors generally fall into 8 core specialties; Anesthesia, Acute Care Common Stem (ACCS), Paediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Surgery and Medicine.
The duration of training and configuration of training length varies between specialties. The training is generally split into core training and higher training, although anaesthesia has intermediate as well. Some specialties are classed as ‘coupled’ whereby a trainee recruited into ST1 will progress through to CCT at ST5 to 8, subject to satisfactory progress. Other specialties are classed as ‘uncoupled’ whereby a trainee completes 1 to 3 years of core training and then needs to compete for a place in the higher years of training. Higher training is currently managed in the main via the London Deanery on our behalf, although some specialties will be moving to being managed by KSS in the near future.
KSS are now managing a large number of higher specialty programmes with the vast majority of these having access to places within London teaching hospitals to deliver elements of the curriculum required for the programme.
Introduction from Deputy Dean Secondary Care
We are in a time of reform once again in the National Health Service, with radical changes being enacted from April 1st 2013.
The changes to the Health Service have also coincided with the final report of the Francis Investigations into mid-Staffordshire.
The messages that are coming through loud and clear from these developments is that the trainee voice is pivotal in the delivery of excellent education which leads directly to excellent patient experience and outcomes.
It is no surprise therefore that we continue to develop the position of the trainee voice in the delivery of our programmes in Kent, Surrey & Sussex, and aspire to make it as efficient and effective as possible.
Patients and colleagues would expect little else.

Generation E
The Generation E initiative started in 2012 as a pilot and has already run some cross deanery, cross-specialty events. Some of our retired consultants have given guest lectures and supported Trainee Doctors in one-to-one feedback capacity. From 2013 our aim is to increase our pool of Volunteers both in number and also extend to other professionals, raise awareness amongst Trainee Doctors and organise more events. Further information can be found on the website here:
Expense Claims
KSS Specialty Workforce often invites Trainee Representatives to attend events and details of how to claim expenses are found here which is regularly updated.
STC Meetings and role

Trainee representation is a key element in the development and monitoring of the Specialty Training Programmes, and representative’s play a valuable role in providing feedback and helping shape new initiatives. The role of theTrainee Rep within the school is to act as a middle person between trainees and the school and to attend the school meetings as a representative of their peers to feedbackboth positive and negative experiences of their peer group within their respective training programmes and hospitals. The followingtrainee representative feedback form was designed with the help of the trainee representatives

ARCP & Revalidation
The detailed arrangements for Annual Reviews of Competence Progression (ARCP) are contained in the Deanery manual on ARCPs. A summary guidance is provided below. It should be read in conjunction with Section 7 of the Gold Guide.
The ARCP provides a formal process which uses the evidence gathered by the trainee, relating to his/her progress in the training programme. It should normally be undertaken on at least an annual basis for all trainees undertaking specialty training and will enable the trainee, the Postgraduate Dean and employers document that the competencies required are being gained at an appropriate rate through appropriate experience. Further information regarding ARCP including the ARCP Guidelines 2012 can be found here:
Revalidation is the GMC’s new way of regulating doctors to give extra confidence to patients that their doctors are up to date and fit to practise. The GMC is rolling out revalidation across the UK from the end of 2012. Further information regarding revalidation can be found here:
LEP Visit, Diary and training
The GMC has defined a framework for quality assurance of training. KSS will need to ensure within this framework that there is a clear set of standards for trainers and training environments and that evidence of educational delivery is shared.
The function of KSS visits to a Local Education Provider (LEP) is to ensure that Trusts with trainees have mechanisms in place to allow training to be adequately delivered across all specialties.
Further information regarding dates and training can be found on the website at:
As a trainee representative, you may be asked to participate on a LEP visit for your specialty. The role of the trainee representative is to actively ensure that the trainee voice is heard during the visit and in the follow up report. You will be allowed to question trainees, trainers and senior managers on various issues to ensure that trainees are working in an environment that is conducive to acquiring the skills and knowledge as set out in the respective specialty curriculum. Training is given to all those who participate on the visits.
