Summary

A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.


University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust (Bristol site) seeks applicants for Post-F2 Clinical Education Fellows to commence in August 2024 for one year.

These posts provide an ideal opportunity for the successful candidates to work in a busy inner city university hospital and be part of the Postgraduate Medical Education Faculty. Successful candidates will be actively involved in a personalised post aimed at developing the candidate’s skills and interests. This includes opportunities in organising and delivering undergraduate and/or postgraduate medical education and research.

The posts comprise 50% clinical service and the other 50% of the time will be individualised giving you the opportunity to develop your CV in undergraduate and/or postgraduate medical education, research and/or service development. There may be the opportunity to spend this time in the Bristol Medical Simulation Centre, subject to interview.

The post also includes home fees paid to study for a Certificate in Medical Education at the University of Bristol’s Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals (TLHP) department.

The appointments will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Service of Trust grade Doctors (2017) and may be subject to amendment.

Clinical duties will involve the ward based care of patients who have been admitted to hospital with a wide range of acute cardiology problems. The post holders will join a team of 4 FY1s and 3 IMT trainees who are supervised by one speciality doctor and one associate specialist on the cardiology wards in the Bristol Heart Institute. Cardiology patients are mainly looked after on wards C705, C805 and CCU.

Educational supervision will be provided by Dr Victoria North (Consultant Cardiologist and Specialty Tutor for Cardiology). The full range of educational opportunities provided by a large teaching hospital trust will be available to the post-holder including a state of the art PGME and medical simulation centre (with library and computer centre).

Key responsibilities include organising and helping to deliver the weekly Cardiology Journal Club as well as consultant-delivered junior doctor teaching on a Tuesday morning.

There are also opportunities to attend CMT specific teaching (90 mins on Tuesday afternoon and 1 hour on Thursday mornings) and general medical teaching (1 hour Medical Grand Round).
