Rumour control suggests that there will be 8 training lines for SHO's. None
of these will be A+E. However, A+E will be a component (4/12) of other
aspects of training. SHO's will be supernumary.
A+E will be staffed by nurse practitioners who will see all minor end stuff
and most major end stuff (see previously discussed document on out of hours
care) plus non career grade doctors in personal development posts. PDP's
seem to be like staff grade posts but at SHO rather than middle grade level.
There will be support from appropriately qualified consultants (not
necessarilly A+E since there will be NHS directed triage to speciality).
Competition for posts will be to get "proper" SHO post and avoid getting
into PDP's
The light at the end of the tunnel (many of our visions for the future of
A+E) is dimming
Having said all this, it is all rumour and may be untrue.
