Survey of specialty, associate specialist, specialist (SAS) and locally employed (LE) doctors.

SAS and LE doctors both make a hugely valuable contribution to UK health services, and we want to better understand their views.

Between Tuesday 21 April and Tuesday 2 June we ran a dedicated survey that explored SAS and LE doctors’ unique workplace experience. We asked about their roles and responsibilities. And we explored topics such as workloads, wellbeing and opportunities for learning and development.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey. The findings will directly influence our major review of the standards, outcomes and guidance that underpin how doctors’ education and training is designed and delivered in the UK.
