Description
The job plan on appointment will consist of a split of 7.

5:2.5 DCC/SPA. The SPA component is made up of core activities (appraisal, revalidation, CME, routine departmental meetings etc.) and non-core activities.

Non-core activities are discussed and agreed within the Trust (via an agreed tariff and, on occasion, through ad personal agreement).

Non-core SPA may reflect activities such as educational supervision, research, leadership and quality improvement.

These roles involve teaching and the wider management of the undergraduate training programme. These activities are recognised explicitly in job plans. Day-to-day teaching on the wards and in clinic is accounted for within direct clinical care (DCC) time.

Research and Development Over the last few years, Research and Development has been one of the fastest growing areas within the hospital and we are consistently in the top five small acute trusts in England for our research performance.

We are actively involved in research that is developing and trialling new treatments for patients. We believe that conducting cutting-edge health research helps us to provide better care for our patients.

Our main clinical research areas are:

Cancer & Haematology COVID-19 Reproductive Health Intensive Care Cardiology Gastrointestinal & IBD Respiratory Rheumatology Paediatrics Trauma & Orthopaedics Accident and Emergencies Diabetes Stroke Ophthalmology Facilities for appointee The appointee will have access to an office, and secretarial support will be available.
