Job description

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 a postgraduate qualification.

Post-holders, who will be based at West Middlesex University Emergency Department, will find this 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.asp and your local training standards committee.

Responsibilities

The main service commitments of Senior Clinical Fellows will be, under the supervision of the Consultants, to supervise the FY2s and to do hands‑on work alongside 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’ roles undertaken by middle‑grade doctors within the department.

The middle grade would also be expected to run the Emergency Department.

Teaching & Development

The Consultants are very committed to teaching and postgraduate training and will ensure appropriate opportunities for professional development. The appointee will be expected to already have, or to have obtained during the appointment, certificates in ATLS and ALS. Most of the Consultants are Instructors on these courses.

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. Our Trust is rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission in all five domains and holds an ‘Outstanding’ rating for ‘use of resources’ by NHS Improvement.

Working Pattern

The rota is a full shift pattern providing 24‑hour cover to the Emergency Department with a 1:3 weekend split. The shift pattern is New Deal compliant with 1A banding and the pay banding may change to comply with new working practices or regulations related to the reduction of junior doctors’ hours. This post is for Senior Clinical Fellows based at Chelsea and Westminster Emergency Department (0.6 WTE) with the remaining time devoted to developing simulation, teaching and medical educational skills. The post holder will be expected mainly to provide out‑of‑hours clinical work in the Emergency Department.
