​There are 12 regional SAS committees in England. Our regional representatives involve and engage with SAS doctors on a local basis, and work with the UK SAS doctors committee.

Overview

The regional SAS committees meet four times a year to discuss issues that are most important to SAS doctors in their respective regions.

One meeting per year is open to all SAS doctors in their region – get in touch with your regional contact for details. Other meetings are formed of representatives from each trust; generally SAS LNC (local negotiating committee) reps. If you would like to represent your trust on the committee, please speak to your IRO (industrial relations officer).
