  • The Executioner at War: Soldiers, Spies and Traitors
    The Executioner At War: Soldiers, Spies and Traitors lbert Pierrepoint was not called up when war broke out. But there were war-related changes for him as well. Not only murderers and A murderesses could now be punished by death, there were sentences under the Treason Act and Treachery Act as well, both imposing »death« as the maximum penalty. The Treason Act went back to an ancient law of King Edward III's time (1351). »Treason« was, first of all, any attack on the legitimate ruler, for instance by planning to murder him, or on the legitimacy of the succession to the throne: It was treason as well if someone tried to smuggle his genes into the royal family by adultery with the queen, the oldest daughter of the king or the crown prince’s wife. This aspect of the law became surprisingly topical in our days: When it became known that Princess Diana while married to the Prince of Wales had had an affair with her riding instructor James Hewitt, there were quite some law experts who declared this to be a case of treason – following the letter of the Act, it doubtlessly was. However as it would have been difficult to find the two witnesses prescribed by the Act, a prosecution was never started. Just Hewitt’s brother officers of the Household Cavalry did something: They »entered his name on the gate« which was equivalent to drumming him out of the regiment and declaring the barracks off limits for him.317 During World War II, it became important that a person committed treason if they supported the king’s enemies in times of war.

  • Medical Training Initiative Guide
    Medical Training Initiative Guide December 2013 Introduction The Medical Training Initiative (MTI) is designed to enable a small number of International Medical and Dental Graduates to enter the UK to experience training and development in the NHS for up to two years – before returning to their home country. Under the scheme, training capacity not required for planned UK/EEA training numbers is made available for overseas doctors and dentists who meet the required eligibility criteria, including obtaining registration with the General Medical Council – for doctors in the MTI scheme this is nearly always obtained via a professional sponsorship scheme with the relevant medical Royal College. The placements filled by doctors in the MTI scheme are approved by the local Deanery/Local Education & Training Board (LETB) and may also need to be approved by the relevant Royal College. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (the Academy) acts as the UK Visa Sponsor to enable participants to apply for a Tier 5 Government Authorised Exchange Scheme visa with the UK Borders Agency – this is an integral part of the MTI scheme. 2 Who is involved in the initiative? Management of the MTI is a joint approach between GMC Approved Sponsors, Postgraduate Deaneries / LETBs, NHS Trusts and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, with support from the Department of Health. The National Advice Centre for Postgraduate Dental Education manages all dental posts. Each organisation has its own role to play within the scheme – as set out below.

    238 T h e A l p i n e J o u r n A l 2 0 1 4 for treason at the Old Bailey in late November 1945, pleading guilty to eight counts of high treason and sentenced to death by hanging. He did TED NORRISH this in order to spare his family any more embarrassment, but the papers at Cambridge show how Amery and his younger son Julian tried every way they could to save his life. Despite a psychiatric report by an eminent Mount Robson – 1961 practitioner, Dr Edward Glover, that he was definitely abnormal with a psychopathic disorder and schizoid tendencies, and the intervention of the South African Field Marshall General Jan Smuts, an AC member, who pleaded directly for clemency with the UK Prime Minister Clement Atlee, it was to no avail. Albert Pierrepoint, the public hangman, described John Amery in his autobiography as the bravest man he had to execute. However, germane to this tragedy, considered by Ronald Harwood as significant to John Amery’s story, is that his father had concealed his part- Jewish ancestry. His mother, Elizabeth Leitner, was actually from a family of well-known Jewish scholars. Leo Amery lost his seat in Parliament in the Labour landslide victory in the General Election of 1945, and refused the offer of a peerage. He was however made a Companion of Honour. Leo kept active in climbing circles almost to the end of his life, ignoring the advice of his old Canadian friend, Wheeler, who, quoting Whymper, advised him in a letter that, ‘a man does not climb mountains after his 60th year’.

  • Junior Doctor Contract
    JUNIOR DOCTOR CONTRACT Mrs Paula Eyre, Head of Medical HR Dr Guy Veall, Guardian of Safe Working Hours Why change? All parties (BMA, DH, NHS) agreed that the current (New Deal) contract was no longer fit for purpose: – Safety: does not support safe working practices – Training: does not support the educational and training needs of doctors – Pay: has perverse incentives that do not recognise or effectively reward hours being worked or the intensity of work being done. A new contract needed to be introduced that was safe, fair and effective for both doctors and employers. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST Limitations of the New Deal contract 2002 • BMA and DDRB thought basic pay was too low compared with other graduates. • Perverse incentive: breaching EWTD limits resulted in more pay. • Significant variation of individual earnings as a trainee moved between posts and placements. • Did not harmonise education, training, and service needs. • Pay progression was based on time served, instead of performance, competence, or responsibility. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST New Contract Implementation Timeline • October 2016 - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – ST3+ in obstetrics and gynaecology training programmes. • November – December 2016 (106 doctors) - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – F1s (taking up next appointment) – F2 (taking up next appointment and sharing a rota with F1s) • February – April 2017 (34 doctors) - All grades taking up next appointments in: – Psychiatry – Pathology – Paediatrics – Surgical trainees (under JCST) – Any F2 and GP trainees at ST1/2 who share a rota with trainees above in this category.

  • Specialty Specific Guidance
    Specialty specific guidance on documents to be supplied in evidence for an application for entry onto the Specialist Register with a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) Emergency Medicine This guidance is to help doctors who are applying for entry onto the Specialist Register with a CESR in Emergency Medicine. You will also need to read the Emergency Medicine Curriculum documentation Can I get advice before I submit my application? You can contact us and ask to speak to the Specialist Applications team for advice before you apply. You are strongly advised to contact the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) for guidance before you submit an application or a review. Applicants may also be able to access advice/support from the Forum for Associate Specialists and Staff Grades (FASSGEM). What is the indicative period of training for a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Emergency Medicine? The indicative period of training for a CCT in Emergency Medicine is six years and it is very unlikely that an applicant would achieve the competences required for a CCT in a shorter period of time. The evidence you collect for your CESR application should reflect this period of training. The structure of the programme is an indicative two years in the Acute Care Common Stem (covering the areas of EM, Anaesthetics, Intensive Care Medicine and Acute Medicine usually with an indicative one year in Anaesthetics /Intensive Care Medicine and six months in each of EM and Acute Medicine) followed by an indicative four years of training in EM (covering the areas of Paediatric EM (approximately 25%), EM and EM ultrasound).
