In your NHS trust, when junior doctors rotate into your hospitals as part of their rotational training posts:

1. What pre-employment checks do you do on the junior doctors before they are able to start with you (e.g. DBS, occupational health)

2. How many people do you employ to complete the pre-employment checks and are they employed on a permanent basis or do you employ extra temporary staff at the busy times (e.g. Aug/Sept and Feb/March)

3. On average, how much do these checks cost you to perform per junior doctor considering the time spent and the employment costs?
