A list of subspecialty training slots compiled by the SAC

Subspecialty training is frequently undertaken in the final year of training. The directory below has been compiled by the SAC to enable trainees and trainers to identify suitable posts across the UK that provide comprehensive experience within which an individual can acquire appropriate exposure and develop their subspecialty interest.

Each Training Programme Director (TPD) was asked to submit details of posts within their region which they would consider suitable to rotate one of their senior trainees into should they wish to undergo subspecialty training.

Each region has specific strengths in regard to the subspecialisation offered and it is possible that a trainee may elect to organise out-of-region training, further to an agreement between TPDs.

The majority of these posts are funded within the regional training rotation as NTNs; the term "fellowships" has not, therefore, been used here since there are connotations of independent funding or of post-CCT training etc which may be confusing and unhelpful in the context of this information.

In future, there are plans to evaluate the data relating to these posts (including logbook activity), to initiate a comparative database and to assess the potential credentialling process.
