Our Medical Education Department has a strong culture of support, development and learning for all medical staff from work experience students to Consultants preparing for retirement. All new Consultants and speciality doctors receive a structured induction to the Trust and are provided with a mentor. Appraisal is firmly established with an electronic database and all Consultants and speciality doctors have access to Continuing Professional Development (CPD), multisource feedback and information about their clinical activity to feed into the process. CPD events are run regularly in response to demand and give the opportunity for Consultants to use their teaching skills as well as learn from others.

Opportunities for developing expertise in research, teaching and leadership (including individual coaching) are abundant here at CNTW. We encourage collaborative learning with other professionals from both within and outside of the Trust.
