About The Project
Staff grades and associate specialists (SASG) have faced challenges in securing sufficient funding for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) doctors to fill in the part gaps in their portfolios. The department of health allocated funding specifically for this purpose. This was distributed amongst all Deaneries to roll out an appropriate and targeted CPD plan. ‘Frontier’ is London Deanery’s project for providing and facilitating CPD for SASG doctors of in the London region.
Frontier is being rolled out in all five regions across London. The Deanery's Frontier team is working to ensure::
- CPD needs of SASG doctors are adequately met
- Funding is used efficiently and effectively
- SASG doctors are actively involved in identifying their own training needs
- Local education providers help SASG doctors access CPD activities
- CPD serves to improve career prospects and patient care
- Lifelong learning becomes a core component of SASG careers
- Closer professional links are forged between local education providers, Royal Colleges, faculties, and the London Deanery in improving CPD for SASG doctors
