These roles are replacement roles within the Academy of the Great Western Hospital with a focus on Undergraduate Medical Education. As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing; you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs. The Trust's Health and Wellbeing team won a National Award in 2020 for the work they have done locally.
These posts are aimed at post-foundation year doctors who wish to spend time working in a medical educational role at The Academy in Swindon, working with medical students from the University of Bristol (UoB), Oxford (UoO), and Kings College London (KCL).
The posts are suitable for doctors who wish to take time out before starting higher medical training or doctors who want to take a year out of a training programme (subject to agreement by the relevant training programme director) or for doctors interested in an academic career who wish to pursue a higher degree such as an MSc or doctorate (MD). These posts comprise an educational role (80%) delivered in the academy, as well as a supernumerary clinical component in the NHS Trust (20%). Alternatively, there are options for 50% clinical and 50% educational ward-based roles as described below.
Candidates may wish to apply for both the office-based Clinical Teaching Fellow posts and the ward-based teaching fellow roles, indicating their preference if successful.
Main Duties of the Job
The duties outlined below are not definitive and may be changed in accordance with the needs of the service:
1. The CTFs work on a day-to-day basis with the Academy Undergraduate Manager and administrators, and the UC / UTs who are responsible for organizing the formal teaching programme and clinical placements for that Unit in their Academy. They will ensure that specified formal teaching sessions are appropriately timetabled and delivered.
2. CTFs need to be in regular communication with the UT / UC and with each other. They meet formally throughout the year to review the course and plan for the future. Each CTF will develop and use an individual or group CTF Outlook Calendar.
3. An Office Based CTF is expected to work 40 hours per week from 09:00 - 17:00, of which one day will be spent in a clinical specialty. It is recognized that the workload is variable and that the hours will need to be flexible. A Ward Based CTF appointed to ED and/or ITU (6-12 month rotation) will generally work one or two weeks clinical/one or two weeks Academy and will be included on the departmental rota, which will include some weekends.
4. It must be recognized that students will be present in an Academy for only part of a calendar year. When considering the sessional commitment, periods of greater or less educational activity need to be averaged over the year.
