The Faculty holds a comprehensive national dataset on Advisory Appointment Committees (AACs), the formal title for consultant interview panels.
This webinar will share the analysis of this dataset and look at AACs, candidates and key trends in the last 10 years in employment and pay, and will also address concerns about the availability of consultant posts for registrars leaving the training programme.
This session is primarily aimed at newly CCT-ed consultants & registrars nearing completion of their training but will also be of interest to all members.
The webinar will be presented by the Faculty Registrar, Ellis Friedman.
