There will be opportunities to attend weekly departmental teaching as well as access to relevant trust-wide training days. In addition, we provide 24hours every week of Consultant Clinical Educator time. This is dedicated shop floor time with a Consultant who provides shop floor training and assessments, enabling doctors to maintain evidence of training even when outside of a formally recognized training scheme.

The Middle Grade doctors play a highly valued and extremely important role in leading the clinical team when the Consultants are not present. Consequently, we are looking to attract somebody with the appropriate clinical and leadership skills and willing to train and work towards developing and refining these.
