Responsibilities
Emergency Medicine Clinical Fellow equivalent to ST3 level or above. Full time clinical fellows work a full shift rota across both departments, including day shifts, evening shifts, nights and weekend. The majority patients attending OUH EDs are ambulatory, and the majority will be discharged home at the end of their visit. Consequently, clinical fellows will spend much of their time diagnosing and treating ambulatory patients with minor illness and injury. However, clinical fellows will receive exposure to the full range of patients and conditions attending OUH emergency departments, with shifts in resus and paediatric areas.
In the Emergency Department, the Clinical Fellow will be responsible for the initial assessment and management of unselected acutely ill and injured patients. He/she/they will help to train and supervise more junior doctors (GP trainees and FY2 doctors). He/she/they will assist with clinical administration, for example, checking X-ray reports, corresponding with patients and their general practitioners. He/she/they will have opportunities to participate in the department's Clinical Governance activities, including departmental audit, and national audits required by the Healthcare Commission. He/she/they will also be expected to attend departmental teaching sessions. He/she/they will be responsible for keeping his/her/their resuscitation training up to date.
