About us
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have about this at interview.
There is a planned move for this service anticipated during 2025, when this role and base of work will relocate to Bournemouth site. Upon relocation of the role/service, excess mileage allowance / reimbursement will not apply, and any travel between the postholder's home and work base will be classified as a commute. Any other changes unrelated to this, will be handled in line with Trust/National terms and conditions.

Job responsibilities
Senior Clinical Fellow in Extreme Medicine ST4+
The successful applicants will join an established and enthusiastic team in delivering quality services to the local population and adjoining areas.
This post will be split 80:20 between the role in the Emergency Department and the Msc in Wilderness and Extreme Medicine at the University of Exeter (please look at the course details via exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/medicine/extrememedicinemsc). It will primarily be based in Poole Hospital, with the option of a secondment to Royal Bournemouth Hospital for a more varied experience.
Course fees will be sponsored by the Trust for the duration of the post (1-3 years) providing satisfactory progress is deemed to have been attained.
The Masters in Extreme Medicine provides the practical skills, knowledge and understanding needed to perform at the highest possible level in the field of Remote and Expedition Medicine.
Key features are the residential locations of the courses in wilderness environments within the UK, and the opportunity to experience environment specific modules located in mountain (Nepal), jungle (Costa Rica), desert (Oman) and Polar Regions (Norway).
The successful candidate will be employed in the Emergency Department on the existing middle grade rota and released for compulsory components of the MSc programme.
The post holder will work on the Middle Grade rota and be responsible for running the department in the late evenings and nights. This will include team-leading all resuscitation cases and coordinating the shift with support from the consultant who is based off site overnight as required.
Study leave will be incorporated into the time required to complete the relevant modules. There will also be the opportunity to gain further experience in USS, and to complete Level 1 USS if not previously obtained. We are also fully supportive of those interested in gaining their specialist qualification in Emergency Medicine through the CESR pathway, as we also have CESR trainees within the department.
