Great to see @RCpsych and @RCPsychSASdocs represented at #DEMEC25. Statements of support for developing and recognising SAS doctors in the NHS from all 4 nations leaders. This feels great, but action would feel better. #SASsix
Wonderful to see national leaders discussing development and support for all doctors, specifically including SAS and LED doctors and addressing the contribution of IMGs already in the NHS at #DEMEC25. Feel the wind of change on your skin. Let's see fast action now #SASsix

As a #SASsix endorsing College, this is one of the actions needed- no mental health doctors trapped in Locally employed doctor roles for more than 2 years is one of the #SASsix commitments.
@theSAScollect #SASsix implementation by trusts is an easy way for trusts to change this. If they want to…

Lots of national organisations have put their weight behind the #SASsix campaign. It's not over ambitious to ask for equity for development/educational/leadership opportunities and the right contract for your work. It's just being a good employer.
Great to see @TheDA_UK highlighting the need for positive change for SAS doctors and endorsing the #SASsix campaign to improve their careers. The brilliant @DrVic1987's substack explains more. https://t.co/WVPeEkYI1u
