Job summary
We are seeking to appoint four Senior Clinical Fellow doctors at IMT3 level in Geriatric Medicine, specifically in our Hospital at Home Frailty service. This post is suitable for doctors who have completed core medical training or are currently working as an IMT3 or Middle Grade. This post is a great opportunity to take that next step as a senior doctor, taking part on the Medical Registrar or IMT3 rota. The post is for 6 months but can be adjusted to suit personal circumstances. For example we are happy to consider extended unpaid leave for anyone wishing to combine professional and personal development or travel.
The post allows a wide range of experience in acute and subacute settings, both on assessment units and inpatient wards areas. The wide breadth of services available at Wythenshawe and Trafford Hospitals allows experience of specialised clinics that might otherwise be difficult to attend.
The posts are ideally suited to anyone wishing to further their development as a leader, educator or quality improvement (QI) practitioner. There are several clinical opportunities and educational or QI projects that have been identified for these posts or candidates are welcome to suggest their own ideas.
Main duties of the job
The posts have an assigned educational supervisor and a wide range of educational opportunities available which can be tailored to the needs of individual. The education programme for junior doctors at our hospitals across Trafford and Wythenshawe is active and includes a highly successful PACES teaching programme with frequent scheduled teaching sessions for 6 weeks prior to each exam diet. In addition, Specialties have additional weekly departmental meetings.
