Senior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine

Overview

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust – Senior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine.

There is an excellent opportunity for an Emergency Medicine doctor to advance their career as a Senior Clinical Fellow (ST4+) with the aim of obtaining a postgraduate qualification. Post-holders will be based at West Middlesex University Emergency Department. This is suitable as an out of programme post; for information on seeking prospective GMC approval for training, please refer to the GMC website and your local training standards committee.

The main service commitments of Senior Clinical Fellows will be, under the supervision of the Consultants, to supervise the FY2s, and to perform hands-on work alongside other middle grades. The department has initiated new patterns of working to achieve current targets, including roles undertaken by middle grade doctors such as lead middle grade, resus lead, and the rapid assessment team.

The middle grade is expected to run the Emergency Department. Consultants are committed to teaching and postgraduate training and will ensure opportunities for professional development. The appointee is expected to already have or obtain during the appointment certificates in ATLS and ALS. Most of the Consultants are instructors on these courses.

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East. We have over 6,000 staff and are proud to Care for nearly one million people. Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children s services.

We are one of the best performing Trusts in the country and among the top trusts to work for. Staff say they are engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.

Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as Good in all five domains (safe, effective, caring, responsive, well-led), giving an overall Good rating. We have also been awarded an Outstanding rating for use of resources by NHS Improvement.

Our facilities are among the best in the country. We are investing in our estate, with ongoing expenditure and development projects at Chelsea and Westminster and West Middlesex, in partnership with CW+ and generous donors.

The rota provides 24-hour cover to the Emergency Department with 1:3 weekends. The shift pattern is new deal compliant with a 1A banding. Pay banding may change to comply with new working practices or regulations relating to the reduction of Junior Doctors Hours. This job is for Senior Clinical Fellows based at Chelsea and Westminster Emergency Department (0.6 WTE) with remaining time spent on developing simulation, teaching and medical educational skills.

The post holder will be expected mainly to provide out-of-hours clinical work in the Emergency Department.
