Chief Registrar

The exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated higher psychiatry resident (ST4 or above) with an interest in leadership, management and quality improvement to join South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust as 2026-27 chief registrar is available.

The chief registrar role provides higher residents with roughly 50% protected time (10% of which is special interest time) to develop skills and confidence in leadership, management and quality improvement. Learning that chief registrars gain from the Royal College of Physicians' (RCP's) bespoke development programme will be put into practice in a supported environment that provides autonomy, flexibility and support to develop and support projects that address key local challenges and priorities. This may include service improvement, engagement and morale, education and training, workforce, and sustainability.

The chief registrar role will suit residents who:
