Clinical Fellow - ST1/ST2 Level
Salary: £36,472 - £48,251
Banding - 1A (50%)
FIXED TERM FOR 6 MONTHS (FEB 23 - AUG 23)
The post of Junior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine is now well-established in Fife. JCFs support the provision of high-quality patient care within the ED. The post is held in high regard by NHS Fife and has proved an excellent springboard for a career in Emergency Medicine in Scotland for many trainees or associated specialties and ACCS programmes. The post is primarily aimed at junior doctors who have completed Foundation Year 2 and who wish to broaden their clinical experience on the front line of assessment and management of acutely unwell and injured patients. Each post is advertised for a fixed term of 6 months. We are flexible for those wishing to work less than full time who require a particular work pattern, but there will be a requirement for out-of hours and weekend working.
During this 6 month period, you will work with senior supervision as an additional member of the junior tier (maximum 48 hours per week), with shop floor teaching focusing on prioritisation of workload, formulation of investigation and management plans.
There is a departmental teaching programme which includes microteaching, weekly simulation and regular M&M, departmental meetings and journal club. You will have access to CPD time of 4 hours per 48 hours clinical work.
Successful applicants will be encouraged to take part in departmental audit, quality improvement, journal club and help deliver teaching sessions to junior colleagues, medical students and nursing staff with consultant support. Previous post-holders have presented their CPD/audits at national conferences and have been successful in obtaining posts in ACCS EM training. You will be expected to maintain an e-portfolio and undertake an annual appraisal. Each clinical development fellow will be allocated a consultant educational supervisor to support their clinical and professional development.
