Senior Clinical Fellow - Children's Psychiatry
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust
The CPFT CESR fellowship programme provides a personalised programme for doctors wishing to gain entrance to the specialist register through the CESR process.
Dependent on individual development needs it will include inpatient, community and emergency work as well as opportunities to gain experience in a range of non-clinical areas.
The CESR fellows will also receive clinical and educational supervision with a focus on professional development and successful CESR application.
Main duties of the job
Initial placements will be subject to agreement with the successful candidates, but it is anticipated that the initial two years will consist of two twelve-month placements working at Senior Clinical Fellow level. Placements are based in either the North (Peterborough), Central (Huntingdon) or the South (Cambridge) of the Trust in one of CAMHS community teams or inpatient units (Darwin or the Croft). A further year can be arranged dependent on the professional and developmental needs of the candidate.
Throughout the programme the appointee will have three SPAs each week including a protected special interest day. This can be used for additional clinical experience such as crisis work and psychotherapy, development of non-clinical competencies and portfolio development.
The post holder will provide medical leadership to the respective teams maintaining the highest clinical standards in the assessment and management of patients with acute mental disorders and sharing responsibility for day-to-day management of the services with active supervision from the designated Consultant Psychiatrist. The post holder will also be expected to attend and contribute to team meetings and clinical governance meetings and to be involved in teaching and training of junior staff, medical students and other disciplines.
