The department of Acute Medicine at New Cross Hospital has a longstanding reputation for delivering high quality patient centered care alongside training and education to create an environment that thrives on innovation, teamwork and compassion.
We are looking to further expand our senior clinical fellow workforce to enable us to strengthen our team to meet the ever-increasing demands on our service and to allow further growth and development.
The posts are being offered at senior clinical fellow / registrar level. Appointments are for6 monthsin the first instance.
Successful applicants will work in a dynamic friendly environment within acute medicine. Although the posts are of non-training grade, there will be direct Consultant supervision and an educational programme including annual appraisal, 4-monthly supervisor meetings, access to an e-portfolio, study leave and a study leave budget.
The post holder will be working with a team of Consultants, Specialist Trainees, Clinical Fellows, Foundation Year Trainees and Physician Associates.
Responsibilities for a senior clinical fellow include the full range of activities routinely undertaken in assessing and managing acutely unwell medical patients. Alongside covering our acute medical unit, we also provide acute physician cover to our emergency department and work closely alongside our physician colleagues to manage the acute medical take. We also run a daily acute medicine review clinic which aids in the facilitation of early discharge and outpatient reviews.
The post holder will be expected to work at registrar level and will therefore have the experience and competencies to do so within the NHS. The post will also involve a contribution to the general medical on-call rota.
