Senior Clinical Fellow in Renal Medicine

The post is based in the Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre at the Hammersmith Hospital, which is the largest renal and transplant centre in Europe. The Trust Fellowship is 75% clinical, with exposure to all aspects of renal and transplant medicine, while allowing significant time (25%) for dedicated renal or transplant research, clinical experience in subspecialty areas of renal medicine, or leadership / management experience according to the trainee’s needs.

The post will be for one year, but may be extended for a further year. The fellowship is suitable for post-CCT trainees or nephrologists in the earlier stages of their training who have completed IMT (or equivalent) and hold MRCP, who are looking to gain expertise in Renal Medicine alongside gaining experience in a related aspect such as research, procedures or management.

The fellow will divide their time between clinical work (75%) including inpatient work, outpatient work and an on-call rota, and research/subspecialist experience/leadership and management (25%). Clinical work includes regular exposure to acute transplantation and glomerulonephritis, and working on a renal high dependency unit. Outpatient work includes covering our satellite services at hospital sites across north west London.

Non-clinical time will be flexible to accommodate the successful candidate’s preferences and interest. The appointed fellow will either alternate between blocks of 9 weeks of clinical work and 3 weeks of non-clinical time, or this time can be split during the working week - according to the fellow’s needs.

Our organisation is driven by our trust strategic objectives and values (kind, collaborative, expert & aspirational) and we look for people who are strongly aligned with them. Our large team is tight knit and work well together. This vacancy would suit a clinical fellow who is looking for a team that can provide a high level of mentoring and support on an on-going basis.

We are an academic unit, strongly aligned to Imperial College, with research and clinical trials embedded in our day-to-day clinical work. There is great opportunity to engage in education and research within our unit. The post has benefited many previous fellows in their career and professional development. This has included supporting CESR applications, going onto consultant posts, and using the 25% research time to successfully secure PhD training fellowship funding.

Many fellows have undertaken work that has been presented at conferences internationally and been published in peer reviewed journals.
