Sometimes the best way to learn is to do the job. I was 33 yrs old when I
was appointed a Consultant and it was a steep learning curve, but the
University of Life does makes you learn about the important aspects of
Emergency Medicine.
Another way to get more clinical experience would be for SpRs to do locum
Consultant posts as the clinical versus management balance is weighted
towards the former with such posts.
