hospital practitioner

A “service-grade” medical doctor who worked part or full time in a non-training hospital post in the UK and practised below consultant level, under consultant supervision. Hospital practitioners, as well as trust/staff grade doctors, clinical assistants and clinical medical officers, were formerly grouped together as staff and associate specialist (SAS) grade doctors, a group now known as specialty doctors, a category established by the GMC in 2008.
