SAS Week 2025
SAS Week 2025 - 6 to 10 October 2025
SAS Week provides the opportunity for employers and national stakeholders to celebrate the specialty, associate specialist, and specialist (SAS) doctor workforce.
Now in its fourth year, the aim of SAS Week is to highlight the impact and showcase the significant contributions of SAS doctors. In partnership with the British Medical Association (BMA), the week will have webinars for employers and SAS doctors to attend, new case studies to share learning from NHS organisations across the UK, reminders of the guidance already available to support you employ and develop this workforce.
Participate in the conversation online:
