Reviews and meetings

Induction

A virtual induction session for new north and south academic trainees (FY1, FY2, ACF) is being planned for September 2020

Further details will be sent to you by HEE  East Midlands in due course. It is mandatory for all new clinical academic trainees to attend the induction day and you should obtain study leave from your Junior Doctor Administrator if you are programmed to undertake clinical work, in order to facilitate this.

If there are any issues with this, please contact the Director of Clinical Training, Professor Matt Bown via m.bown@le.ac.uk.

Academic Reviews

Your annual Academic Reviews are usually scheduled during May of each year in advance of your Academic Review in Continuing Practice (ARCP). You will be contacted for your availability and the relevant paperwork nearer the time.
