Job overview
This post is ideal for a candidate with an interest in Emergency Medicine and Education, wishing to broaden their career following their Foundation training. The time is split equally between providing clinical care in the department and education, predominantly to undergraduates. Although it is not a formal training post, the successful candidate will be working alongside trainees in nationally recognised training positions, and receive the same support, supervision, and access to teaching as them. Supervision will be from senior doctors in Emergency Medicine.
In addition to the above, the post will allow the post holder sufficient independence to develop their own area of interest within medical education and to study towards a recognised teaching qualification.
If the successful appointee has over four years post qualification experience, they will be appointed on specialty doctor 2021 terms and conditions.
