The trainee is expected to plan his or her specific specialist training needs<br />
in advance of commencing the post. Currently these include<br />
paediatric/adolescent diabetes, Joint diabetes antenatal clinics, diabetes<br />
podiatry service, dedicated lipid clinic <strong>and</strong> endocrine dynamic investigations<br />
service. A diabetic renal clinic is planned, which the registrar is expected to<br />
attend. Furthermore, retinal screening service offers additional experience<br />
<strong>and</strong> the trainee will have opportunity to gain experience in this area.<br />
Academic activities: St Richards has an active postgraduate department<br />
with weekly meetings at which the trainee is expected to participate <strong>and</strong><br />
contribute regularly. There is ample opportunity to get involved in teaching<br />
<strong>and</strong> audit. The trainee will attend the regional specialty teaching sessions<br />
regularly <strong>and</strong> clinical commitments will be cancelled to enable this.<br />
Depending on the trainee’s needs <strong>and</strong> the stage of training, dedicated<br />
research/academic session can be built in to the job plan.<br />
