The Training Programme Directors received an email from Liz last week saying that she had resigned from her post as Deputy Director of Postgraduate GP Education with effect from 31 July 2011. This was quite a shock. From her email Liz has resigned because of unsustainable workload with the amount of Deanery work not fitting into the available sessions. She also said that 'at times it has been difficulty to carry responsibility without ... power.'
I think Liz has done a really good job - she has led on increasing our training capacity, increasing the standard of training and of trainees appointed to the scheme and dealt robustly with under performing trainees. I have always felt that Liz has been 'one of us' and has protected schemes from NHS bureaucracy and perhaps even some of its madness at times. We will miss her at the Deanery.
I was interviewing with Liz on Tuesday and was a bit disappointed that she had not told me first because it would have made a really good scoop for the blog!
