Main duties of the job
All consultants are expected to be committed to teaching and to play their part in the delivery of the undergraduate curriculum. These activities would include the planning and review of teaching, and the assessment of students which could, where properly structured, include ward rounds and outpatient clinics.
Of necessity, the requirements of the medical curriculum change over time and it is not always possible to identify specific teaching commitments in job plans - when this is the case the general requirement for teaching time should be made clear.
The need for flexibility is acknowledged by the Trust and, for example, within a service department it is possible that the overall teaching commitment to be unevenly allocated between staff to achieve optimal teaching and service quality.
