The Trainee Executive Forum provides an opportunity for specialty and foundation medical and dental trainees in the North East and North Cumbria to offer feedback or ideas and raise any concerns regarding the quality of their education and training.

It is a group chaired and run by trainees, with a direct link to the Postgraduate Dean. Trainee representatives are self-nominated and/or elected from within their School/Directorate, and represent the views of all trainees, not exclusive to their own specialty/programme. 

Its purpose is to increased involvement of trainees in the development of strategies and processes and to help HEENE consider the impact of those strategies on training to enhance recruitment, retention and the overall experience of trainees in our region. 

There are also additional trainee representatives opportunities to get involved in other committees. Further information on these opportunities can be found here.

Meeting Arrangements

During the COVID-19 pandemic, regular weekly meetings by skype will be held - every Wednesday evening at 7pm.  Diary invites and information on how to dial in will be sent. These meetings are open to all trainees - email tef.ne@hee.nhs.uk for further information. In addition to this weekly webinars will take place every Friday at 2pm.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns arising from the webinars, do not hesitate to get in touch via the Quality.NE@hee.nhs.uk inbox (alternatively the HEE fellows, Matt (matt.gray@hee.nhs.uk) and Paddy (Patrick.Williams@hee.nhs.uk), are always happy to discuss issues on a more informal basis in the first instance if you would prefer).

In normal circumstances, the TEF meets quarterly at HEENE Headquarters, Waterfront 4, Newburn Riverside, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE15 8NY.
