Welcome

Great news as we go into August 2026 and our fourth year of delivering the EM Mastery Skills programme for Scotland:

Fully Funded & Allocated: Your place on these core skills courses is automatically allocated and course cost covered by the Scotland Deanery. (Your £600 personal study leave budget is not affected.)
National & Equitable: Delivered directly by your TPDs, local consultant leads and supported by PSD Scotland (formerly NES) and the Specialty Training Board, this established program ensures every EM trainee in Scotland gets great curriculum mapped training.
Time Off the Floor: Step away from the clinical environment, connect with fellow trainees from across the country, and master curriculum skills together.
Streamlined ARCP Sign-offs Our sign-off system continues: instead of chasing multiple WPBAs, you get a 3-4 page certificate mapping every skill to the RCEM curriculum and entrustment scale. Just upload this single document to Kaizen to clear multiple requirements at once.
