We are attempting to review the provision of post CCT fellowships and locum consultant roles. I would be very grateful if there was a contact in your department who could help me to collect data- ideally with the number of both job types advertised in the last 12 months on NHS job would be a great starting point.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR).
