in an electronic portfolio system. There will be an annual review of progress based on evidence within the

covering both clinical, personal and professional development, and a
Certificate of Achievement (appropriate to that year/level of training) will be
issued.

years. The offer will be dependent on

Pay Scale
These roles are equivalent to a doctor on specialty training programmes
and will be paid on the equivalent pay scale.
The salary scale commences at
£61,825 per annum.
Appraisal and Revalidation
This post is not recognised for training and brings with it an obligation
to engage with the process of revalidation on an annual basis.
All our Trust appointed doctors are required to engage positively with
appraisal and revalidation. The Trust
has procedures that comply with national recommendations. As a Trust employed doctor on a fixed term
contract successfully appointed applicants will need to have a prescribed
connection with Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust via GMC Connect and will
therefore have Dr Richard Gorman, the Medical Director at the Trust as their
GMC Responsible Officer.
Continuing Professional Development
The Trust requires all its doctors to
engage with continuing professional development, guided by the relevant
professional associations or Royal Colleges. Time and funding is provided
according to departmental and Trust policies, subject to approval through the
clinical management structures. There is a programme of mandatory training
which all relevant staff must complete as required.
Research
Medical staff are encouraged to develop areas of personal and/or research
interest. This can be developed in
liaison with the Trusts R&D department and in line with prevailing
policies and research frameworks. The
Trust is developing an expanding and outward-looking research programme.
Educational & Clinical Supervision
The post holder will have a named educational
supervisor and be expected to hold regular meetings with them during their
tenure to ensure appropriate development during their appointment.
Teaching
The Trust is keen to maintain its
reputation for high quality training and to attract the highest calibre of
trainee and career-grade doctors. All
senior doctors are involved in training our doctors, students and other
professions. There are many
opportunities to develop training and education roles and many have taken on
educational leadership roles within and beyond the Trust.
Audit and Clinical Governance
There is a rolling half-day clinical
governance programme and audit meetings are well attended and lively. The Clinical Audit Department assists with
setting and supporting an audit programme for the Service with which all
colleagues are encouraged to engage. Clinical Audit is considered within
objectives as part of job planning.
