Improving your CV
Attend management meetings
Teach as much to as many people as you can
Book reviews
Online comments to journals etc

Posters and prizes
Ask your consultant if any opportunities are coming up e.g. peer reviewing journal articles

Rota management / STC etc
Ask to be involved / attend meetings (They can be quite boring)
Write a list of questions to ask later

Health & Social Care Bill Summary of the Health and Social Care Act 2012
The Bill proposes to create an independent NHS Board, promote patient choice, and to reduce NHS administration costs.
Key areas
establishes an independent NHS Board to allocate resources and provide commissioning guidance
increases GPs’ powers to commission services on behalf of their patients
strengthens the role of the Care Quality Commission
develops Monitor, the body that currently regulates NHS foundation trusts, into an economic regulator to oversee aspects of access and competition in the NHS
cuts the number of health bodies to help meet the Government's commitment to cut NHS administration costs by a third, including abolishing Primary Care Trusts and Strategic Health Authorities.
