We are seeking to appoint four Clinical Education Fellows in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery. During this 12 month programme, we aim to provide the opportunity to develop your skills, knowledge and experience for successful applications to Core Surgical Training or ST3 via CREST with a completed PG Cert in Medical Education.
These posts have been created to give trainees the opportunity to spend time learning about T&O, and to allow the candidate to develop their own skills in training and medical education and includes the opportunity to enrol on and have funding for the Medical Education PG Cert Teaching & Learning for Health Professionals (TLHP) at the University of Bristol. The posts are suitable for trainees who have completed foundation training and are aiming for CST or ST3.
The clinical role involves working in the department of T&O in the adult trauma unit and paediatric major trauma unit as part of the Southwest trauma network.

The BRI is a Trauma unit and receives referrals from across the region for complex trauma and orthopaedic reconstruction of the upper and lower limbs and the BCH is a paediatric Major Trauma Centre.
The teaching role is well supported by the Director of Medical Education and the Division of Surgery and the role is open for development according to the needs of the successful candidate. The trust hosts medical students, foundation doctors and core trainees, the Bristol Simulation Centre and The Versalius Clinical Teaching Unit.
The Clinical Education Fellow will also act as supervisor to the incoming rotating FY1s, Undergraduate Physician Associates and Clinical Practitioners.
