Senior Clinical Fellow &E

Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust is delighted to invite applications for a Senior Clinical Fellow (SCF) in Emergency Medicine with a special interest in the CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) pathway, based at University Hospital Lewisham.

This is an excellent opportunity for motivated Emergency Medicine clinicians seeking a structured, well-supported route to CESR and consultant-level practice within a busy, forward-thinking Emergency Department.

As a Senior Clinical Fellow, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, safe, and effective emergency care while developing your portfolio towards CESR. The post combines substantial shop-floor clinical work with protected time for special interests, teaching, audit, and professional development.

You will work predominantly in the adult Emergency Department, with opportunities for secondment in Anaesthetics, Intensive Care, Paediatrics, and Acute Medicine during the latter part of the programme.

Our people are our greatest asset. When we feel supported and happy at work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for, the patients. Engaged employees perform at their best and our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) initiatives contribute to cultivate a culture of engagement. We have four staff networks, a corporate EDI Team and a suite of programmes and events which aim to insert the 5 aspirations:

• Improving representation at senior levels of staff with disabilities, from black, Asian, and ethnic minorities background, identify as LGBTQ+ and women, through improved recruitment and leadership development
• Widening access (anchor institution) and employability
• Improving the experience of staff with disability
• Improving the EDI literacy and confidence of trust staff through training and development
