Training Governance in the Independent Sector (Lead Employer Model)
While 100% fill rates and a significant increase in the number of core training places are welcome in psychiatry, they have placed great stress on educators and educational capacity within local education provider organisations; namely Trusts, Health Boards, and similar institutions across the four nations of the UK.
As a significant proportion of clinical services are now provided in the private or independent sector, we have developed a support tool to aid in the structured and safe integration of resident doctors into training placements within the Independent Sector under the Lead Employer Model.
The toolkit is based on practice in England and guidance from Health Education England and has been published in the Employer Hub section of our website.
