Job Advert
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
This is a fixed-term post of 12 months.
We are delighted to invite applications for two Clinical Teaching Fellows to join the Emergency Department team at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. These 12‑month fixed‑term posts offer an exciting opportunity to combine high‑quality emergency medicine with a strong, supported educational role in one of Scotland’s busiest and most respected Emergency Departments.
Our Clinical Development Fellow posts provide an 80:20 split between clinical work and teaching, allowing you to develop as both a clinician and an educator. Fellows are embedded within our award‑winning Emergency Department Education Team, delivering undergraduate teaching and contributing to our diverse, well‑established departmental education programme.
The Emergency Department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary is a dynamic, fast‑paced, consultant‑led service, caring for approximately 98,000 new patients each year. We serve a richly diverse urban population—from the culturally vibrant city centre to communities experiencing significant socio‑economic challenge—offering exposure to a wide and rewarding clinical case‑mix.
Consultant‑led care is delivered 7 days a week until midnight and beyond, supported by a combination of overnight resident consultant cover and enhanced middle‑grade presence.
The department benefits from:
- An 11‑strong middle‑grade tier
- A highly experienced and skilled nursing workforce, including many dual‑qualified Emergency Nurse Practitioners
- Around 30 junior doctors on the rota
- A strong culture of teamwork, learning and clinical excellence
As one of the busiest Emergency Departments in Scotland, GRI ED comprises:
- A 6‑bed Resuscitation Room
- A 29‑bed Majors hub
- A dedicated Minor Injuries area
We manage everything from major trauma and complex acute medical and surgical presentations to minor injuries. The department has acted as the principal receiving hospital for three recent major incidents and has well‑developed, rehearsed systems for managing multiple casualty events.
Education is central to our department’s ethos. We have a proven track record of delivering high‑quality clinical teaching, recognised through National and Local Teaching Excellence Awards over the past five years.
Our education programme continues to evolve, with:
- A whole‑team approach to learning
- An established simulation training programme
- Clinical Teaching Fellows playing a key role in delivering and shaping undergraduate and departmental education
This post offers an outstanding opportunity to build teaching experience, develop educational leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to a thriving learning environment.
Applicants must:
- Hold full GMC registration with a licence to practise
- Have completed foundation training (or equivalent)
Applicants trained outside the UK must be able to demonstrate equivalent training and experience.
