Summary

We have an exciting new opportunity to become UCLH’s Medical Education Fellow in Acute Medicine from August 2026. This is an ideal post for doctors training in any medical specialty with a general internal medicine component looking to undertake an out of programme experience, or doctors looking for opportunities before entering higher specialty training.

This is an opportunity for a motivated registrar with full MRCP and a passion for education to shape the learning culture of Acute Medicine at UCLH. The role offers a unique balance of clinical practice and protected time to develop as a medical educator within one of the UK’s most dynamic and academically active acute trusts.

We are looking for an enthusiastic clinician who is organised, collaborative and keen to innovate. Whether you are exploring a longer-term career in education or seeking dedicated time to consolidate leadership and teaching skills, this fellowship provides the platform, autonomy and support to make a meaningful impact on resident doctor training — while continuing to develop your own clinical and professional practice.

The post holder will direct the training programme for the 38 resident doctors in acute medicine. There will undergo training to become expert simulation trainers and deliver teaching on Foundation and IMT simulation training programmes. They will help deliver bespoke feedback sessions for individual residents to help with the professional development.

This will be alongside a commitment to clinical work in acute medicine, working at a registrar level in Same Day Emergency Care and the Enhanced Care Unit within the AMU. The post is divided into a roughly 50/50 split between educational work and clinical work.

The post holder will support the local Postgraduate Medical Education lead to address important training issues, enhance training experiences and support department-wide education. The department will contribute £2000 towards pursuit of a formal education qualification, eg postgraduate certificate in education.
