Job description

Job summary

Senior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine

There is an excellent opportunity for an Emergency Medicine doctor to advance their career as a Senior Clinical Fellow (ST4+) with obtaining a postgraduate qualification.

Post-holders will be based at West Middlesex University Emergency Department.

This is suitable as an out of programme post; for further information on seeking prospective GMC approval for training, please refer to the details on the GMC website (http://www.gmc-uk.org/education/seeking_approval.aspand your local training standards committee).

Main duties of the job

The main service commitments of Senior Clinical Fellows will be, under the supervision of the Consultants, to supervise the FY2s, as well as doing 'hands on' work alongside the other middle grades. The department has initiated new patterns of working to achieve the current targets and integral within these are the 'lead middle grade', 'resus lead' and 'rapid assessment team' which are roles undertaken by the middle grade doctors within the department.

The middle grade would also be expected to run the Emergency Department. The Consultants are very committed to teaching and post-graduate training and will ensure appropriate opportunities for professional development. The appointee will be expected to already have or to have obtained during the course of the appointment certificates in ATLS and ALS. Most of the Consultants are Instructors on these courses.

About us

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East. We have over 6,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children's.

We're one of the best performing Trusts in the country. We're also one of the top trusts to work for – our staff say they're engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.

Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as 'Good' in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving us an overall rating of 'Good'. We've also been awarded an 'Outstanding' rating for 'use of resources' by an NHS Improvement inspection.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate. We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children's unit at West Middlesex – in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.
