Summary
We are seeking to appoint new full time junior clinical fellows to join the existing cohort of core trainees and foundation year doctors. These posts combine emergency surgery on call exposure, elective activity in a base speciality and allotted time for pursuing secondary interests, academia, management/leadership and surgical education. The roles are focussed on delivering high quality surgical training at core surgery level whilst at the same time optimising individual CVs and applications ahead of Core Surgery or Higher Surgery applications processes. Applicants with interests in General Surgery including EGS, Upper GI, Colorectal, Endocrine, Breast and Hepatobiliary Surgery are welcomed. Aligned with the Improving Surgical Training Gold Standard framework, we have successfully launched a new simulation programme delivering laparoscopic accreditation in the form of ALSGBI LAPASS, have SHO, junior registrar level focussed training lists running throughout the week and are committed as a unit to robust educational and clinical supervision and the development of individual research, teaching and leadership skills. The applicant is expected to have a major interest in a career in General Surgery. MRCS or equivalent is not essential but desirable and basic clinical skills equivalent to core training level should be demonstrated. Previous exposure to NHS practice is essential. The successful applicant should be able to perform at the level expected of at least a core surgical trainee. DUTIES OF THE POST The work pattern of this post is comprised of three elements: Element 1: Clinical experience in a base specialty in abdominal surgery placement at St James University Hospital (~75%). Base specialties available include EGS, Upper GI, Colorectal, Endocrine, Breast and Hepatobiliary Surgery. Element 2: The post will contribute to the emergency general surgery on call at a ratio of 1 in 4.5 (~25%). Element 3: There is the opportunity for candidates to enhance personal extra-clinical interests. One day per week of elective activity weeks will be allocated to CPD to support this work and may include one or all of surgical education, research, leadership and quality improvement. Applicants will be supervised by appointed college tutors and one of the EGS consultant body will support where necessary in developing criteria to enhance applicants eligibility for successful transition to the next stage of the surgical training pathway. Elective commitments may involve attendance at major and minor surgery, outpatient clinics, ward rounds, teaching and a contribution to the Trusts Clinical Governance Programme. LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY Elective duties will be at the level of a CT1-2 and on call duties will be at the level of a Core Trainee. These are not Deanery (Local Education and Training) approved training posts but engagement in the training process and ISCP assessment is encouraged to benchmark against deanery trainee colleagues. AUDIT AND GOVERNANCE The appointees are expected to attend and contribute to departmental clinical audit and governance mortality meetings. The appointees are expected to fully comply with the LTHT Clinical Governance Agendas. CONDITIONS OF SERVICE This post is covered by the Hospital Medical and Dental Staff (England and Wales) Terms and Conditions of Service. These documents are available on the Medical Staffing Intranet site. The post holder is required to be fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and hold a licence to practice.
