The Scotland Deanery

On the Scotland Deanery website for Scottish medical training there are sections with lots of relevant information for resident doctors in training, trainers, IMGs, Medical ACT, Quality and the Trainee Development and Wellbeing Service.

Scottish Medical Training

The Scottish Medical Training website is our recruitment site and is the principal resource to learn more about how to apply for Foundation, Core and Specialty Medical Training in Scotland. Here you’ll find regularly updated information about application windows (how and when to apply), a directory of 50+ GMC-approved medical specialty programmes and first-hand accounts about training from resident doctors in training and trainers. There are also useful insights on career direction and what it’s like training and working in Scotland.

Scottish Online Appraisal Resource (SOAR)

Designed for doctors (in both Primary and Secondary Care) working and training in Scotland, for their Appraisal and Revalidation needs. The Scottish Online Appraisal Resource (SOAR) is used by Appraisers and Appraisees to aid the appraisal process, and for resident doctors in training to complete their self-declarations. Here you’ll also find a SOAR user guide, handy FAQ’s and examples of Quality Improvement Activities.

Clinical Skills Managed Educational Network (CSMEN)

The Clinical Skills Managed Educational Network (CSMEN) website provides information and related resources. It was established in 2007 to support excellence in clinical skills education.

The focus has been on improving patient safety and clinical outcomes by supporting access to high quality, multi-professional skills training and clinical simulation across all geographical areas of Scotland.

CSMEN develops online educational resources, manages and deploys a Mobile Skills Unit (MSU) which provides state of the art simulation facilities for remote and rural healthcare practitioners and has built a national network of healthcare educators and practitioners.

We connect people and organisations involved in health and social care to enable collaboration for a "Once for Scotland" approach to skills and simulation-based learning.
