Medical Honorary Contracts (Non-Consultant)

What is an Medical Honorary Contract?

A Medical Honorary Contract is the mechanism by which a Doctor can access Cardiff & Vale UHB facilities and information, whether that be for work, research or training, when they are not employed directly by the relevant Cardiff & Vale UHB.

Honorary Contracts are issued to NHS employees who typically require;

access to NHS patients and/or

An individual MUST NOT commence any activities within the Cardiff & Vale UHB until all employment checks have been completed & honorary contract is issued.
