Post specifics
This post is not recognised for training and therefore does not have educational and training approval from the Postgraduate Dean or Royal College. However, in all other respects the post holder will have identical terms and conditions of service to the department’s doctors in training working at this level. Clinical audit experience and ample research opportunities will be available for individuals wishing to progress in their career. Previous trust grade doctors have published papers, won deanery prizes and have gone on to become trainees in their fields of interest. Candidates with a special interest will have the opportunity to discuss at interview. The local city and community served by the Trust are highly diverse with a complex mix of clinical and cultural needs. Good working relationships and integrated pathways exist between hospital and community health services, primary care, local authority and mental health services. The post is designed to improve clinical confidence, decision making and higher order thinking, and is ideal for preparation for T&O ST3 National Selection.
