The individual will be expected to perform duties and take clinical responsibility to ST1-2 or ST3+ level depending on post appointed to. The duties of the post holder include supporting the delivery of high-quality medical education including the development, delivery and evaluation of courses. Clinical duties of the post holder will be post-specific.

The Teaching Fellow posts span a variety of clinical areas and research domains within Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals, with varied time allocated for clinical and teaching-based work within different posts (posts range from between 30% and 50% allocated teaching time). The clinical opportunities are dependent on the department and equivalent grade of the teaching fellow, however many posts offer ward-based experience, time to attend clinics and theatre lists, as well as the chance to be involved in or lead departmental teaching, audits and quality improvement projects.

Posts may be fixed to one clinical area over the course of the year or may rotate around different areas within a directorate. Most posts also involve an on-call commitment to maintain acute skills.
