Clinical Teaching Fellow; Post Women's Health Kings

These roles are replacement roles within the Academy of the Great Western Hospital with a focus on Undergraduate Medical Education. As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing; you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs.

These posts (table
1) are aimed at post‑foundation year doctors who wish to spend time working in a medical educational role at the Academy in Swindon working with medical students from the University of Bristol (UoB), Oxford (UoO), and Kings College London (KCL). The Clinical Teaching Fellow role is intended as a fixed‑term career development opportunity, normally taken for one year prior to specialty training.

The posts are fixed term for 12 months as they are designed as a fellowship position rather than a permanent service role. This role is suitable for doctors who wish to take time out before starting higher medical training or doctors who want to take a year out of a training programme (subject to agreement by the relevant training programme director) or for doctors interested in an academic career who wish to pursue a higher degree such as an MSc or doctorate (MD).

The role comprises an educational component (80%) delivered in the Academy and a supernumerary clinical component in the NHS Trust (20%). Alternatively, 50% clinical and 50% educational ward‑based roles are also possible.

• Service – We will put our patients first.
• Teamwork – We will work together.
• Ambition – We will aspire to provide the best service.
• Respect – We will act with integrity.

The educational duties of the CTF – office based – will mostly be delivered in the academy environment, 80% of their time. They are set out in Table I and include responsibility for the student choice projects and associated field trips. The specific area of educational responsibility will be determined by the appointee’s interests.
