Job summary

This is a 12 month-fixed-term appointment created to support undergraduate medical education during the current academic cycle.

The fixed term nature of these posts reflects a specific service need which is not part of the permanent establishment.

The Clinical Teaching Fellow role is intended as a fixed-term career development opportunity, normally taken for one year prior to speciality training. The posts are fixed term for 12 months as it is designed as a fellowship position rather than a permanent service role. The posts are suitable for doctors who wish to take time out before starting higher medical training or doctors who want to take a year out of a training programme (subject to agreement by the relevant training programme director) or for doctors interested in an academic career who wish to pursue a higher degree such as an MSc or doctorate (MD). These posts are made up of an educational role (80%) delivered in the academy as well as a supernumerary clinical component in the NHS Trust (20%). Or 50% clinical and 50% educational ward-based roles as described below.

Main duties of the job

1. The CTFs work on a day-to-day basis with the Academy Undergraduate Manager and administrators, and the UC / UT's who are responsible for organizing the formal teaching programme and clinical placements for that Unit in their Academy. They will ensure that specified formal teaching sessions are appropriately timetabled and delivered.

2. CTFs need to be in regular communication with the UT / UC and with each other. They meet formally throughout the year, to review the course and plan for the future. In order to achieve this each CTF will develop and use an individual or group CTF Outlook Calendar.

3. An Office Based CTF is expected to work 40 hrs per week 09:00 - 17:00 of which one day will be spent in a clinical specialty,see allocation of clinical areas of responsibility below. It is recognized that the workload is variable and that the hours will need to be flexible. A Ward Based CTF appointed to ED and/or ITU (6-12-month rotation) will generally work one or two weeks clinical/one- or two-weeks Academy and will be included on the departmental rota which will include some weekends. See rotations in Table 1.

2. All CTFs will be expected to supervise student Choice placements undertaken by the students during Sept & Oct/ June & July each year. Typically, this will be ten projects per CTF. CTFs are encouraged to work with the student authors to write up their projects as abstracts for conferences or academic papers. CTFs who lead on Choice projects including field trips (currently to Malta and the French Alps) will be able to accompany students on an associated trip. Other CTFs may also be able to accompany students on field trips depending on project relevance and student and CTF numbers.

3. All CTFs will be trained in leading simulation scenarios across the UG curriculums. They will also be asked to design and deliver their own scenarios and contribute to the academy library of simulation scenarios.

4. CTFs in the Swindon Academy are given a great deal of autonomy and they are expected to demonstrate self-motivation managing projects and to support the wider educational programmes in the Trust.

The specific area of educational responsibility will be determined by the appointees interests.

The clinical component

They will be paid separately by the clinical dept for this. It should be noted that where an appointee chooses to opt into an out of hours / on call rota, it must have no impact on the educational component of their role (no compensatory time off during the academic component).

8. Clinical teaching fellows may need, under exceptional circumstance, be re-allocated to other clinical areas at the direction of the Medical Director and the Trust Executive Board

For doctors who have already begun specialist training they will be placed in that clinical area for the entire 12 months. The same T & C for out of hours/ on call duties set out above will apply.
