Happy #SASWeek25 again everyone - it’s been great to see so many people and organisations sharing insights, celebrations, and challenges. There is a lot more we need to do, so let’s keep highlighting what’s needed and sharing ways forward to keep this work going all year round.
On this final day of #SASWeek25 we have been focused on the SAS Advocate role and wellbeing. The NHS needs to ensure the wellbeing of its SAS workforce so that they can flourish in an environment where their contributions, and also their needs, are respected and recognised
As part of our #SASWeek25 celebrations, our @EMSAS_RCEM Chair sat down with Dr Agnes Ngassa, an Emergency Associate Specialist at Hillingdon Hospital, to discuss career development, SAS representation in the College, and our upcoming EMSAS Conference.
