Why northern deanery

Round two focused on specific clinical areas. Round three looked at mapping to the Biomedical Research Centres. These posts are now centrally-funded and are discipline-specific.

The end goal of these posts is that individuals will put together an externally-funded fellowship. The posts are currently competency based.

For further information please contact Professor John Sayer. Numbers of doctors perceived to be underperforming ranged from none to over 15 in different health authority areas. Main areas for concern were communication skills, clinical skills, and management skills. Patients' representatives were concerned about lack of power of patients and health authorities and doctors' lack of accountability. Cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, acute medicine, haematology, oncology, renal medicine, rheumatology, dermatology, neurology, infectious diseases, clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, endocrinology and diabetes, palliative care and stroke medicine.

All rotations will provide experience of acute unselected medical take. All IMY 1 trainees will have the opportunity to attend simulated procedural training and there is further human factors and simulation training in IMY 2 or 3. In IMT year 3 trainees will gain experience in acute medicine and other medical specialties.

IMT year 3 posts may be in any of the hospitals that host IM year 1 or 2 trainees and possible specialties include geriatrics, acute medicine, cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, haematology, oncology, renal medicine, rheumatology, dermatology, neurology, infectious diseases, clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, endocrinology and diabetes and stroke medicine. IMT year 3 posts will be allocated in accordance with national guidelines and are subject to change.

Progression to the next year of training will always be dependent on a successful ARCP outcome. All IM trainees will be offered an interim review to review their progress prior to ARCP as well as ongoing high-quality educational supervision.

Some specialty trainees have expressed reluctance to being placed at North Cumbria University Hospital NHS Trust due to the additional commuting that this often entails. We understand that for some trainees this places significant extra demands upon their time and sometimes upon their financial situation.

This will be subject to terms and conditions and the payment will be subject to tax. Note that there is nothing we can do about the payment being taxable as regulations are set by HMRC, not ourselves. The intention is that you will receive payment via your employer, the Lead Employer Trust, within the first couple of months of your training placement in North Cumbria.

We are informing our networks of this now to make doctors in training aware prior to making their ranking selections because, in some specialties, trainees are asked to express choices about where they are placed and this information may affect their choices. With no compromise on the quality of property, culture, cuisine and entertainment, you'll be amazed at how much further your money goes.
