FIXED TERM ST1/2 and ST3+ LEVEL CLINICAL FELLOWS

ACUTE AND GENERAL MEDICINE AND MEDICINE FOR THE ELDERLY

Applications are welcomed by NHS Tayside for Fixed Term ST1/2 and ST3+ equivalent Clinical Fellows in Acute Medicine, General Medicine and Medicine for the Elderly. There are a number of posts available and the successful candidate(s) will be based at Ninewells Hospital or Perth Royal Infirmary.

These posts will commence in August 2025 and are for 12 months in the first instance.

Applicants must have successfully completed Foundation training or the equivalent.

All posts include:

• protected development time of up to a half day per week
• a named mentor for the duration of the post
• experience within acute care environments such as AMU
• ability to attend local teaching such as for PACES
  

Out of hours work will be on the AMU ST1/2 rota, which is supported by resident on call Registrars at all times or the ST3+ rota if applicable. Applications to work daytime hours only, with no out of hours commitment, will be considered.

These posts provide an excellent opportunity for doctors who wish to develop their experience in different medical specialities, gain experience in quality improvement and teaching, or who require a clinical post to support completion of postgraduate exams.
