Job description

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint enthusiastic individuals on a whole‑time basis as Advanced Clinical Fellows, for a 12‑month period. Any applicant wishing to complete the Fellowship on a less‑than full‑time basis will be considered equally. The post does not award a National Training Number. The Advanced Clinical Fellowship (ACF) can be done out of programme or post‑CCT. If undertaken out of programme, the intention is that it would count as the Specialist Interest Area (SIA) part of Anaesthesia Stage 3 training, and subject to prospective approval from the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) and appropriate progress, will be counted towards CCT. Should a Fellow wish to count this training towards their CCT, they must be eligible to undertake their SIA year by the date of commencing the post. Successful applicants must commence the post within 2‑9 months of appointment. As this post is not recognised as a "training post", full registration with the GMC with a licence to practise is required, and if the appointee does not hold right of residence in the UK, sponsorship will be required. The duties of this post are equivalent to Stage 3 Specialty Training (ST6+) or appropriate to an individual holding a Certificate of Completion of Training. The clinical posts would be approximately split 60:40 between clinical and non‑clinical practice, with the aim of providing time to complete meaningful quality improvement, educational projects, or research depending on the Fellow's area of interest. The Fellow should strive to develop expertise in technical and non‑technical skills associated with their area of working, in addition to developing systems and processes within the service.
