Senior Educational Medicine Clinical Fellows

Senior Research Medicine Clinical Fellows

Senior Leadership Medicine Clinical Fellows

Applications are invited for a number of Clinical Fellow posts initially for 12

months but extendable for an additional year starting from August 2024.

The posts come with 25% dedicated non-clinical time to work on projects whilst working at Brighton and Sussex University NHS Trust.

Applicants interested in a purely clinical role and also for less than 12 months would also be welcome but preference is given to people who commit for a year.

Current examples of clinical fellow projects include: Undergraduate Education in conjunction with BSMS, ultrasound, leadership, simulation and others, however future projects can be tailored depending on personal career needs/interest/development of training.

The Clinical Fellow posts are designed to help build CVs (in work time), as well as to stop you burning out because of too many clinical shifts and bad rostering.

Despite being non-training posts, the feedback has been that similar posts in other departments have been brilliant for training and career progression and most people go onto get training positions afterwards in their chosen specialty and region or have a well needed year out of training.

These are novel posts work to a new annualised system of rostering. These jobs are designed to support junior doctors whilst enabling sustainability and job satisfaction.

It is great for those wishing to take some time out during specialist training or before starting training or prior to starting a consultant post.

You need to have completed 4 years since medical school with at least 2 years internal medicine experience to apply.

The rota works via a fundamentally different way of staffing doctors - via an annualisation system. Full allowance of annual leave and bank holidays (whether worked or not) are allowed for in the annualisation calculations.

This calculates a set number of clinical shifts, which have to be worked over the year, and leave is taken when you are not working your clinical shifts.

This allows for greater flexibility than standard rosters. The weekend requirements will be 1 in 4.

The post consists of 48 hours per week but with 3 hours self development time on top of non clinical time.

They are currently paid for on the old contracts terms and conditions. i.e. band 1a. They may move onto the new contract. We welcome less than FT and have flexible rotas to make that possible.

At RSCH and PRH, ED SHOs perform single clerking - where their clerking is used as the main ward admission paperwork.

They present their patients to speciality seniors aiding
