Senior Clinical Education Fellow (Anaesthesia)
This is a fixed term appointment for a period of one year based wholly at Wye Valley NHS Trust in Hereford where the successful applicant will join our friendly and enthusiastic education team whilst also spending half of their time in a clinical specialty: we are offering a post in Anaesthesia at CT3/ ST3 equivalent level. Appointees will be expected to participate in the out-of-hours on-call rota.
Please note: This vacancy may close early due to high volume of applications.
Main duties of the job
This post is designed to support development in medical education for the post-holder through planning and delivery of teaching to medical students, junior doctors and multidisciplinary teams, whilst maintaining and progressing with clinical experience within their own specialty. We will also encourage and financially support the successful candidate to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education (or equivalent credits).
We offer Consultant-led training opportunities with additional support to undertake management and leadership training, quality improvement projects, research, regional & national presentations and publication.
There is a fully equipped Simulation Suite including the 3G Sim Man, which provides a further dimension to medical teaching in Hereford plus a new multi-professional Clinical Skills and Simulation Academy. The Trust launched an Education Directorate in 2021 which supports and promotes shared learning across professional groups. We receive students from the Universities of Birmingham, Aston, Worcester and the Three Counties Medical School.
We have an extremely high number of Fellows who successfully use this year to springboard into competitive national training schemes, and are proud to have some of the best student feedback in the region.
Job responsibilities
This is a post open to anaesthetists with at least two years experience in a recognised anaesthesia training programme. The successful applicant would be expected to be able to perform under distant supervision, with main duties in the provision of anaesthesia for the operating theatre suite and labour ward (obstetric anaesthesia/analgesia). Competencies in critical care (intensive care medicine) would be welcomed but not essential. As a department we are proud of our excellent training and educational reputation in the West Midlands. We value our junior staff by providing opportunities and training for development and career progression.
