KM- Senior Clinical Tutor​/Consultant Psychiatrist

Overview

Are you an enthusiastic, talented Psychiatrist looking to rejuvenate or begin your career? We have an exciting opportunity for a Psychiatrist to join the Consultant team in Grampian. The post combines a novel approach to final year Undergraduate Medical Teaching with a clinical role. The post holder will work part of the week in the Teaching Centre to deliver psychiatric teaching and support to final year Medical Students who will assess patients referred by their General Practitioner, alongside a team of General Practitioner educators who supervise Medical Students in assessing and managing on‑the‑day patients.

The post holder will oversee the work of the Students, provide clinical supervision, and deliver more formal teaching at other times of the week. They will develop and shape the psychiatric element of the teaching centre in collaboration with the Undergraduate Psychiatric Teaching Team.

The post is combined with a clinical role as a Consultant Psychiatrist within NHS Grampian in the subspecialty of the applicant’s choice. With further digitalisation of our services, there may be some opportunity to work in a hybrid model with some sessions workable from home, but the job will be primarily on site at Royal Cornhill Hospital.
