You must be an ST4+ trainee, require 40% protected time for initiatives, and have a mentor for monthly meetings. Formal educational oversight and a personal development plan are essential.

You will enhance communication among leaders and trainees, drive service improvements, mentor peers, optimize workforce deployment, and foster stakeholder engagement in quality initiatives.

Education & Teaching

The chief registrar role is a leadership role for senior specialty trainees at ST4+ level. The role provides 40% protected time to develop and implement local initiatives focusing on, for example, service improvement, engagement and morale, education and training, workforce and sustainability.

Job Description The chief registrar job description is broad in scope to allow chief registrars and recruiting organisations to have autonomy and flexibility over the work the chief registrar undertakes. Chief registrars should focus on addressing key local challenges and priorities, which may include some or all the following: * Providing a ‘bridge’ between senior clinical leaders, managers and the wider trainee workforce to improve communication, engagement and morale. * Service improvement, for example redesigning pathways, implementing new technology and establishing new services to improve flow and outcomes for patients. * Improving the quality of clinical and non-clinical education and training activities and supporting/mentoring other trainees to engage in quality improvement. * Involvement in workforce planning and improving the deployment of trainees to meet service needs and improve morale. * Improving efficiency and reducing waste. * Working across teams and boundaries to engage stakeholders in quality improvement and influence change.
