This is going to be a great event and opportunity to talk about SAS/LED careers and our important roles within the NHS workforce!

Really looking forward to this opportunity to engage with politicians and others over the contributions and needs of the SAS and LED workforce in the NHS. We often say that we are marginalised. Well, we ought to do something about that.

Am I followed by any MPs? The @sascollective.com have been invited to a parliamentary event next week, hosted by @peterprinsleymp.bsky.social, on behalf of @assocanaes.bsky.social. We'd love to see you there! The future of the medical workforce will be defined by SAS careers. #SASsix

We are a relatively small anaesthetic department @lgtnhs.bsky.social compared to some of the giant tertiary trusts. But we punch well above our weight and so glad to see this recognised by @rcoanews.bsky.social with ACSA accreditation.

Huge congrats to @sas-gas-thomas.bsky.social who has secured a Specialist post in his trust. The senior SAS contract was designed for people like him (experienced, working autonomously, and broad portfolio of clin/non-clin interests). He deserves it 👏 👌 👍 #SASdoctors @robjimfleming.bsky.social

The last speaker in the Diveristy in Focus session at #WSM2025 is @curlygastube.bsky.social , speaking about working with a non-visible disability. Her story of recovery from a traumatic brain injury, among multiple other injuries, was both candid and inspirational. She is incredible.

By your own admission, you have at times been like a broken record. Whether in an official position or just as an individual, your core message hasn't changed. SAS drs and their careers deserve parity of esteem. You deserve these awards and more. 👏 👏 👏

Afternoon all! Thanks to all of our recent followers. We are very grateful for your support. During SAS week, we released a short video explaining what we are trying to achieve. Introducing the #SASsix to your organisation is good for doctors, services AND patients. youtu.be/d7VBKNdgiY8?...

No, it's not some weird US version of April Fool's day - this is actually true. Every time this side of the Atlantic we think US healthcare can't get more cruel and absurd it pulls one like this out of the bag

Excellent to see the @rcoanews.bsky.social publish their "State of the Nation" workforce report. We are very proud to have been mentioned in the SAS section. The RCOA were one of the first national organisations to announce their support of the #SASsix. www.rcoa.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

We are proud to be SAS doctors, and proud to be a part of the expanding #SASsky community. One of the original collective, @robjimfleming.bsky.social, has put together a starter pack of Bluesky SAS doctors. Consider giving it a follow. Thanks, folks! go.bsky.app/LBCr7f1

If anyone wanted to add @theSAScollect.bsky.social to any of their medical starter packs, you would be doing us a massive favour. The SAS Collective look after a grassroots campaign called the #SASsix, which is all about seeing every doctor in the UK achieve their potential in the workplace.

I seem to have gained quite a few followers this week. Thanks, folks! For anyone who doesn't know already, I spend a lot of time talking about SAS doctors. SAS doctors exist in the UK healthcare system as folks who aren't in formal training programmes, and who aren't usually consultants or GPs.
