Job summary
Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is pleased to announce the development
and introduction of these new, innovative, and exciting posts, which have been
designed primarily for trainees who have successfully completed their FY2
placements and wish to complete a IMT equivalent training programme. We envisage these roles as being an ideal
steppingstone for trainees between their FY2 and Specialty training posts and
offer opportunities for applicants to develop skills and experience in other
areas such as medical education and quality/service improvement.
Main duties of the job
From a clinical perspective these posts will
participate in the cross site junior trainee rota. The Resident Trainee rota is compliant with the
2016 Resident Doctor contract averaging 48 hours per week.
Duties will be based primarily at Pinderfields &
Dewsbury sites although all our medical staff are involved in delivering care
to patients on all our sites.
These roles will enable the post holder to take
supervised responsibility for patient care and consolidate the skills they have
learned at medical school. As the post holder gains experience they will
remain under clinical supervision but take on increasing responsibility for
patient care. In particular they will
begin to make management decisions as part of their progress to independent
practice.
During their tenure the post holder will further
develop their core generic skills and contribute more to the education and
training of the wider healthcare workforce.
At the end of their tenure the post holder will have begun to
demonstrate clinical effectiveness, leadership and the decision making
responsibilities that are essential for the next stage of their careers.
About us
We are an acute trust caring for over one million people in Wakefield and Kirklees.
