Over the years, many of our Locally Employed Doctors have successfully transitioned into training programmes or secured medical posts being it full or part-time.

This includes paid study leave, clinical supervision, and a wide range of internal and external training and development opportunities.

Here, we are developing multi-professional training that supports the ongoing growth and development of our medical workforce.
