New Starters – Welcome to the Thames Valley

All new resident doctors that are joining us will receive key information about programme and placements via the Trainee Self Service (TSS) Portal.  Please ensure we have an up to date email address for you.  The first email will be sent 14-16 weeks before your programme start date (once all offers have been confirmed via Oriel).
