As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing; you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs. The Trust’s Health and Wellbeing team has won a National Award during 2020 for the work they have done locally.
At the Great Western Hospital we have all of the facilities you would expect to find in a busy general hospital including an Emergency Department, delivery suite, a full range of diagnostics tests such as X-ray, MRI and CT scans, outpatient clinics and 21 inpatient wards. We provide these services in a very modern environment ensuring patient have privacy and dignity throughout their care.
Our priority for our patients, whether cared for in hospital or in the community is to provide safe, high quality health services and we have an impressive track record on issues such as patient safety and infection control.
The post of a Clinical Fellow F2 and ST1/2 is both challenging yet rewarding; you will be looking after patients from when they are admitted to the hospital to the final discharge stage. The successful candidates will be working in a mixture of General and Geriatric Medicine, specifically for our General Medicine patients.

• Identify and synthesize problems
• Prescribe safely
• Keep an accurate and relevant medical record
• Complete discharge summaries in a timely fashion, and be responsible for the describing of discharge medication.
• Manage time and clinical priorities effectively
• Communicate effectively with patients, relatives and colleagues
• Use evidence, guidelines and audit to benefit patient care
• Consultant ward rounds will be a useful opportunity for doctors to discuss management plans and treatment options.
Our STAR values are at the heart of everything we do. You can expect to see them in the way we act and the way we treat each other. Our values make us who we are. We will expect your values and behaviours to reflect the STAR Values of the organisation:
Service We will put our patients first
