Consultant Supervisors
The Lead Consultant Supervisors are permanent, supervisory members of the Executive Committee. They provide continuity of oversight for STAR, supporting the Committee in selecting and implementing projects, promoting STAR’s activities with the local consultant body and at a national level. Each hospital trust also has a Local Consultant Supervisor, who supports the Trainee Local Leads in their roles.
