This content discusses the importance of supporting specialist, associate specialist, and specialty doctors (SAS) and locally employed doctors (LED) within the medical workforce. These doctors, who are not consultants and not part of a recognized training program, play a vital role in delivering NHS services. They often do not receive parity in terms of educational and career support. Recommendations include specifying responsibilities and salaries, providing training opportunities, appointing clinical and educational supervisors, and offering study leave and development opportunities. By valuing and recognizing the unique needs of SAS and LED doctors, the NHS can benefit as a whole.
