Specialty and Associate Specialist Doctors (SAS)

Richard Dodds, Director of Medical
Education and Development.

I became Director of Medical Education and Development at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in January 2010.

I am a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics and have a background in surgical education having been our departmental tutor for over 10 years, and have been Chairman of the RITA Panel in Oxford Deanery and now moved on to being Regional Specialty Advisor.

The role of SAS doctors is very important in this trust and is only likely to become more important. We strive to offer excellent and safe patient care throughout and thus the development of our SAS doctors is as important as the development of our consultants and trainees.

We are here to help your personal career development so please use us. My secretary is on Ext 7426 but it is probably best to contact me via the hospital e-mail system, Richard.Dodds@royalberkshire.nhs.uk
