The Medical Education Fellowships are designed for doctors who have completed their General Practice Specialty Training within the last 5 years and have an interest in medical education. The part time nature of the posts will allow you time to continue to develop generalist skills in the context of service general practice (eg through a locum appointment) while undertaking a tailored programme of exposure and training in relation to medical education. This will involve being attached to the regional NES Postgraduate GP unit with opportunities to become involved with teaching, educational developments, quality assurance initiatives and evaluation/research. Individuals will be encouraged to start a postgraduate qualification relevant to medical education. Three one-year posts (0.5 wte) are available from August 2025, spread across the 4 regions of NHS Education for Scotland.
