Description

As a Junior Clinical Fellow (JCF) you will be treated the same as if you were a trainee on a formal training programme.

You will be allocated a Clinical and Educational Supervisor for the duration of your post.

You will work across all areas of the unit including the AAU, ECA and AEC areas and experience the full depth and breadth of acute medical illness.

You will be supported by Registrars, Senior Clinical Fellows and there are daily Consultant-led ward rounds for all AAU inpatients.

The post brings full annual leave and study leave allowance, including access to a study budget, and the department runs a comprehensive in-house teaching, mortality & morbidity review and governance programme.

Our JCFs are actively encouraged to engage with Trust-wide educational events and teaching programmes.

Whilst this post is not an official training post, we have striven to ensure the training opportunities and work patterns align to the Royal College of Physician's approved training programme.

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.

We have over 7,000 members of staff that are PROUD to Care for nearly one million people.

Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including full maternity, emergency and children's, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, such as award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.

We're one of the best preforming Trusts in the country.

We're also one of the top trusts to work for - our staff say they're engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.

Our Trust has been rated by the Care Quality Commission as 'Good' in all five of the main domains of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, giving an us overall rating of 'Good'.

We've also been awarded an 'Outstanding' rating for 'use of resources' by an NHS Improvement inspection.

Our facilities are some of the best in the country. We have been investing around £10 million a year in our estate.

We are currently spending £25 million on expanding our adult and neonatal critical care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster and redevelopment of our children's unit at West Middlesex - in partnership with our charity, CW+ and generous donors.

The Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital is comprised of 54-beds.

The Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) unit offers high quality same-day emergency care (SDEC) and is comprised of a trolley-based area for assessment and treatment; treatment chairs & rooms - alongside allocated outpatient clinic space.

AAU has consistently high feedback and the team are dedicated to preserving and improving this.

We are fully engaged with local faculty group meetings to ensure that issues are resolved quickly and to make sure the unit remains a high-quality training area.

We have a comprehensive quality improvement programme that we encourage all junior doctors to join to ensure we continue to improve.

The rota is consciously designed to allow you to work with continuity in a particular area rather than changing day by day.

The rota does include working weekends and evenings, but does not include night-time work.
