Final sign offs
Much in demand this week as it's that time of year again: eportfolio provisional sign-offs. It's also the time to really think about what you want to do next.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the contracts, it is no surprise that many want to wait and see what happens before committing further to a career in medicine.
More promising is the news that the 5 day 'pause' for renewed negotiations between NHS England & the JDC has been extended into a second week.
Good News
This week AJ Jibawi who has been a locum with us, accepted the substantive appointment as Consultant Vascular Surgeon 
AJ is a regular fixture round the Surgical LFG table and it is good to see his commitment rewarded with this post.
He joins Barun Majumdar & Magdy Moawad (seen above) as the more recent appointments in Vascular Surgery, all of who are fully engaged with training here @ASPHFT.
More Good News
Congratulations also this week to Young-Seok Cho, current a Core Trainee in T&O, who has heard this week that not only was he successful at obtaining a T&O Registrar training number but also securing his first choice Deanery - @HEE_KSS. 
Hopefully that means we'll see him back again in the future, on the registrar rota.
