Overview
Due to a team restructure, a new post has been created within the Medical Appraisal and Revalidation team for an enthusiastic and organised Administrative Assistant to join this small and friendly team which supports all UHMB employed doctors with their annual appraisal and 5 yearly GMC Revalidation renewals. This role is part-time, based at the RLI, but involves cross-bay work. We are part of the Chief Medical Officer's wider team.
The General Medical Council's Revalidation process requires doctors to continuously develop their clinical practice, drive improvement in clinical governance, and provide patients with confidence that doctors are up to date with their knowledge and skills. This involves detailed annual appraisals and self-reflection. Revalidation was introduced to improve the regulation of doctors holding a licence to practise.
Main duties
* Provide good all-round administration support in a specialised, confidential environment.
* Interact with medical staff at all levels in a trustworthy, polite, and sensitive manner, handling confidential situations appropriately.
* Deliver high-quality service to stakeholders, including local hospices and private hospitals.
About Us
You must be comfortable working in a very small team, and occasionally alone. The wider team is very supportive and together we enjoy a diverse and positive working atmosphere.
