The Kent, Sussex and Surrey Deanery's role is to ensure the supply of well-trained medical professionals to the NHS, through our training and continuing professional development programmes. Please visit www.kssdeanery.org/home/about-us for more information.
KSS Deanery is a part of NHS South East Coast
The KSS Core School of Anaesthesia provides the first two years of training in anaesthesia at the end of which trainees should be in a position to apply for ST3-7 posts.
Training takes place in hospitals in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Although the area is large geographically, trainees are given the choice between the East (Kent), West (Surrey) and South (Sussex) areas of the school. Within each area there are a number of two year rotations all of which are designed to maximize the training opportunities within the deanery but which will allow trainees to focus on their training without having to move house or travel long distances.
The Education Department leads all training and education within the Deanery. Each department of anaesthesia provides local training and education which is monitored formally by the local faculty group. The local faculty group ensures that trainees make appropriate progress and will monitor and support any trainee whose progress causes concern.
The KSS Deanery places great emphasis on the quality control of education and has a rigorous system which reports back through the School of Anaesthesia to the Deanery.
