About the University of Sunderland

The University of Sunderland offers life-changing opportunities for 27,500 students across its campuses in Sunderland, London, Hong Kong, and through global partnerships with learning institutions in 19 countries. We're proud to be a top 50 UK university (Guardian University Guide 2024), with top-quality facilities, inclusive culture, and our vibrant, ever-changing city.

The University of Sunderland is in an exciting phase of its development with a new vision and redefined strategic ambitions designed to take advantage of the ever-changing higher education landscape at home and overseas. Our brand-new School of Medicine graduated it's first cohort of doctors in 2024. This marks a very exciting time for our University, our NHS partners, and the City/Region.

Sunderland Medical School was one of five new Medical Schools established in 2018 to address the regional imbalance of medical education places across England and to widen access to ensure that the profession reflects the communities it serves. At full capacity we have a cohort of over 500 Medical Students.

The School of Medicine sits within the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing which has a track-record of excellence in science and healthcare education spanning almost 100 years. We are well placed to contribute to the expansion of medical training and help to address the chronic shortage in some medical specialties, including general practice, in the Northeast. We have a significant focus on widening access and will deploy our expertise to ensure we recruit students from the communities they will ultimately serve.

About the role

As part of the GP Clinical Team, you will be involved in the recruitment and management of primary care placements and the design, management, and provision of campus-based primary care teaching and assessment. You will have specific responsibilities as Year 3 GP Clinical Lead, Phase 2 GP Placements Lead, and Patch Lead responsible for quality management of our teaching practices in one geographic area of the northern region.

This part-time role is 0.5 WTE and requires you to be available on campus on Fridays, and either Mondays or Wednesdays (according to your preference and clinical commitments).

What you can bring

As a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Primary Care Medical Education, the successful candidate will be a General Practitioner with MRCGP (or equivalent), on the GMC GP Register with a current license to practice and included on a UK Performers List. You will be in current clinical practice or appointable as a GP. You will have significant experience of undergraduate clinical teaching and a demonstrable interest in pursuing a career in medical education, alongside clinical practice.
