Job summary
Clinical Teaching Fellow in Geriatric Medicine - CT3 Level
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Geriatric Medicine department as a Clinical Teaching Fellow working at CT3+ Level. The post is for a period of 12 months. The successful candidate would divide their time 80:20 between clinical and non-clinical work. The clinical activity in geriatric medicine would involve working alongside a consultant in General Surgery Liaison to provide this service which was paused for long periods from March 2020 but was relaunched successfully in August 2023. This may also include working on geriatric medicine base wards on either the Northern General or Royal Hallamshire hospitals sites to allow the CT3+ trainees an opportunity for a short placement in surgical liaison. As such the post would be particularly suitable for somebody who had completed IM3 and wished to experience the breadth of geriatric medicine at STH prior to commencing Higher Specialist Training.
