Together, SAS doctors make up at least 20% of the anaesthetic workforce and, alongside locally employed doctors, are the fastest-growing part of the NHS medical workforce. Behind those numbers are thousands of dedicated doctors bringing skill, experience, and compassion to their patients every day 🎉

A huge thank you to all SAS doctors - those who have paved the way, inspired others, advocated for recognition and fair contracts, and stepped forward to lead, as well as the many who make an invaluable contribution through their everyday work. 🧵

Today, we’re celebrating SAS doctors 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to end #SASWeek26 by hearing from Dr Emma Wain, who will become the Association’s first SAS President. What better way to celebrate SAS doctors than by hearing from someone helping to shape the future of SAS careers? ❤️

SAS careers aren’t always linear, but there are resources available to help you.

We’ve created a practical resource to support you throughout your career, tailored to the needs of those in SAS grades while also offering useful general information for everyone.

It's #SASWeek26, a moment to recognise the vital contribution of SAS doctors across the NHS. As ongoing supporters of @theSAScollect and the #SASsix campaign, we know that #SASdoctors need both recognition and meaningful change. We're in your corner, this week and every week🙌

Leadership doesn’t have to wait for a training number or a consultant title. For SAS doctors, opportunities to lead can start wherever you are in your career.

We’ve spoken to four SAS doctors from across the UK about their experiences and gathered their top tips for #SASWeek26 👇️

We’re proud to work alongside the Chair of the SAS Committee and first SAS President Elect, Dr Emma Wain, to highlight the barriers SAS doctors face throughout their careers, from access to development and career support to progression and contracts that recognise their experience and expertise.

@assocanaes.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 3:01 PM

✨️ This week, we’re coming together to advocate for SAS doctors across the UK and champion the vital contribution they make to anaesthesia and the NHS. 🧵

#SASWeek26

@assocanaes.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 8:54 AM

We’re advocating for fair and consistent access to Specialist contracts that recognise the skills, experience and contribution SAS doctors bring to the NHS.

#SASDoctors #SasWeek26

@assocanaes.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 8:54 AM

Yet our recent findings highlight unequal access to Specialist contracts across the UK, suggesting that some parts of the UK are making better use of the 2021 SAS contract reforms than others.

@assocanaes.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 8:54 AM

Their contribution should be recognised through clear career pathways and fair access to Specialist contracts, which recognise senior levels of responsibility and provide an appropriate framework for career progression.
