Dear Colleague The College has been reviewing the job description process within the Wessex Region, which has in recent times has been dealt with directly through myself. We are now looking to amend this process and align it with the way we cover the London and Southern Division job description reviews. This will mean that all Wessex region job descriptions will now be facilitated through the London and Southern divisions team at . To give you a basic outline of the process: 1. For our internal reference, the Wessex region [Isle of Wight, Solent and Southern Health NHS] will be referred to as Wessex (eastern). 2. Trusts such as yourself will send the College their job description for approval 3. The College assigns a reference number and confirms this with you 4. They then send it on to a regional rep of the particular job description specialty (e.g. Forensic, General Adult) 5. The rep returns it to the College with a completed review, within a suggested turnaround time of 7 working days 6. They then send it on to the Regional Advisor who returns it back to us with further comments or approval 7. They then send it back to you with either approval or further suggestions for amendments. Please see attached document to give a more detailed overview. The overall process has a turnaround time of 15 working days as a rough guide. This does depend on the availability and speediness of our regional reps and advisors. We would be grateful if you could disseminate the above information to your colleagues and let me know if I should include anyone else in further correspondence. Kind regards Dr Ramachandra Any JD queries should be sent to . This mailbox is managed by my team: Margot Solomon and Moinul Mannan but any contact should be done via the email address outlined above. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
