Unfortunately, locum consultant posts are no longer counted towards higher
specialist training.
From: "Higher Specialist Training Accident & Emergency Medicine" (A document
of the Joint Committee on Higher Training of the Faculty of Accident &
Emergency Medicine)
5. Locum Consultant appointments
Whilst the JCHTA&E recognises that trainees have, in the past, gained
valuable experience in such posts, the current advice from the STA is that
such experience cannot be counted towards HST.

|Can anyone confirm that you can take a consultant locum in the last 3/12 of
an SpR program (and that it does not affect the CCST date).
thanks,
