This is some of the comments our current Clinical Teaching Fellows said about the role:
Taking a year out to work at St. Andrews Healthcare Northampton is turning out to be one of the best decisions of my professional career.
Besides the clinical and academic commitments being challenging and enjoyable, the team are hugely supportive, supporting my professional and clinical development. I am given weekly supervision by my responsible psychiatrist, where I am encouraged to discuss complex cases I have encountered.
About us
The Role and Person
These unique posts provide rich opportunities to develop interests and expertise in medical education whilst broadening clinical experience in a specialist, mental health setting.
In the coming year, the Academic Department will be supporting more than 500 student placements, across medicine, nursing, health and social care. There will be considerable opportunities for clinical teaching and educational activity.
Four sessions are protected for educational activity where you will get involved in facilitating the educational experience of third year students from the University of Buckingham which involves preparing and teaching educational workshops, assessing students' case presentations and offering pastoral support to students. Also opportunities for teaching Cambridge Medical students.
Six sessions for clinical activity (with regular, consistent supervision for both elements) as a Ward Doctor. Your experience here will be similar to a core trainee and will help you gain some valuable experience working within the different wards which will help you in your future career.
You will be actively involved in supporting medical student placements. One day per week will focus on clinical teaching with students on the wards. The second day will be focused on facilitating small group workshop-type sessions in the Academic Department. Study leave will be available for contact days for the PG.Cert course.
