Join our experienced tutors who are practising NHS doctors and take time to consider how you can suppport trainees.

We recognise from the GMC review (caring for doctors caring for patients) that there are considerable challenges faced by all doctors working within the NHS, with 1 in 3 doctors suffering work related stress and 1 in 4 trainees experiencing burnout.


Regional TROD (Trainee Representative in Organ Donation)

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) wish to offer a role for a trainee to work with the Yorkshire Organ Donation Service to support development of organ donation practice in the region and establish effective working relationships with members of the local and regional Organ Donation Service and other key stakeholders. The role has been trialled elsewhere in the UK very successfully.

Statement writing

Writing a statement is an important skill to learn as for many job applications this is now the preferred method of getting information about candidates rather than using a traditional CV.

We are therefore taking the same approach for opportunities within the School of Paediatrics so that trainees have an opportunity to practice these skills. This will apply for requests for posts that are or may be competitive (like some of our speciality posts) and for other opportunities as trainee reps for the school or the infectious diseases diploma. On some occasions you may find that we will also have to interview to be able to make a decision that is as fair as possible to everybody.

Please regard the request for a statement as a learning opportunity and spend some time on writing as good a statement as possible. A good statement is something that can be kept, used as a baseline and improved further for other forthcoming post opportunities. You may find that starting your statement early, spending some time on it and asking trainers like your educational supervisor for advice will all help to produce a good quality statement. There is also lots of online support available and you may find the two links below (which are not specific to medicine) helpful.

Good luck with your application.

Shape of Training Project Group- Trainee Representatives appointed

Two Trainees have been appointed to the Shape of Trainig Project Group. This will help the School of Paediatrics prepares for Shape of Training.

Dr Holly Hester

I am currently ST6 in GRID diabetes and endocrinology. I have a very good understanding of the training structure, an early interest in Kaizen and RCPCH training requirements. Whilst also understanding why trainees need flexibility and how this can be achieved. I have benefited from working in different deaneries as well as abroad, and I have benefited from shaping my training to meet my career aspirations and lifestyle. I am​ dedicated to inspiring the new generation and instilling the same passion I have for paediatrics in them; modernising the training structure will be pivotal to this. 

Dr Alexandra Large

I am currently at ST3 working in Leeds and I will move into ST4 in September. One aim of Progress+ is to streamline the transition from Tier 1 to Tier 2. As I am currently going through this process, I will provide a useful insight into the challenges faced by trainees and areas that can be improved. I have thoroughly enjoyed my training so far within Yorkshire and Humber and would like to ensure colleagues continue to have similar experiences. In Progress+ there is an emphasis on prioritising learning opportunities. Trainees are encouraged to find learning in every patient encounter in every setting. As someone who learns best from experience, l would like to support colleagues and supervisors to put this into practice. I hope my contribution to The Shape of Training Project Group would ensure Yorkshire and Humber continues to meet high standards in paediatric training.
