Job summary
The principal purpose of these jobs is to take a coordinating role for the large number of medical students who are attached to clinical placements in Year 3 or 4. The day to day management of student activity and compliance with their curriculum needs regular monitoring to ensure maximum benefit. The Fellows will support the students in both clinical and bedside teaching as well as in non-clinical based education and be directed towards the educational benefit of medical students rather than service delivery. There is the possibility to negotiate some exposure to the on-call rota if desired from a training perspective
Candidates must be eligible for their own GMC registration:an active licence, ceased license or pending application with the GMC at the point of application. Candidates who do not fit this criteria will not progress through to the shortlisting stage.
