Job summary
All our fellows are expected to take an active part in teaching, service development and audit alongside our HSTs, and for those wishing to put particular effort into CV-enhancement or who wish to start a research portfolio, you will find enthusiastic educational supervisors standing by to assist.
PHEM posts are designed to be the perfect 'prep school' for later PHEM sub-speciality training. You'll undertake shifts with Welsh Ambulance and EMRTS, the Welsh HEMS service (max 50% of your PHEM time). Close relations with our SAR and Mountain Rescue colleagues provide opportunities to gain unique insights into SAR medicine in Snowdonia.
Our Medical Education option offers a generous 50% time devoted to medical education. This primarily involves teaching medical students (3rd and final years from Cardiff and Swansea), but there are also opportunities to reach paramedic students, Advanced Practice MSc students (nursing and paramedic) and junior doctors - and we throw in the option of a fully funded PGCertMedEd for MedEd Fellows staying 12 months. You will also have the opportunity to hone your simulation teaching skills both in the hospital sim suite and in the department.
Global EM and Quality Improvement are our newest options. They're more specialized - please read the Job Description carefully.
