Academic Training Leads
Each specialty training scheme has a designated training lead to oversee the academic element of the programme. Clinical academic trainees are advised to make contact with their Academic Training Lead as soon as possible after joining the programme and to stay in regular touch during their time on the scheme. Academic Training Leads have responsibility for and can help with:
- oversight of the academic element of ACF and ACL schemes and representing the schemes at committee level
- ensuring and advising on the allocation of research project/academic supervisors to each academic trainee
- negotiation and organisation of research blocks
- helping academic trainees to resolve any difficulties that they may have with managing their programme
- general communications and advice about the programme and encouraging ACF/ACLs to engage in CATO initiatives such as mentoring, courses and events
- oversight of each ACF/ACL’s progress through the ARCP process
- liaison with Clinical Training Leads on planning academic training programmes for trainees
