Summary
Applications are invited for ST1-2-level training posts offered by the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, based at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital/Redditch Hospital. These posts are for a minimum of 1 year, with a further 1 year period available. Some are new posts to support the expansion of the medical bed base. Others are replacement posts for current staff. These posts are not Deanery posts. However, the posts are structured to provide a portfolio-based Postgraduate Training Programme similar to the Deanery model. The Trust is committed to providing the medical training content. The posts are for 1 to 2 years. The new wards that require extra support will be for General Medical and Renal patients. However, we also have clinical fellows working in Respiratory Medicine, Stroke, Acute Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Renal, Geriatrics, Cardiology, Gastroenterology and Diabetes/Endocrinology.

The successful candidates will be welcomed to join the weekly teaching sessions and Grand Rounds.

At the end of the post a Certificate of Postgraduate Training will be available Duties of the posts include care of acute medical admissions to hospital, short stay inpatients, specialty outpatient clinics and portfolio-based procedures and competencies. Participation in audit and research is encouraged. Training will be supervised by a named consultant. The typical candidate should have taken, or be preparing for Part I MRCP.
